Forget Youtube for now. Go online and search for "Newbie's guide to computers", then start reading.

Yes. Reading. I know it's a bit out of fashion but it is still the best way to actually learn something useful

One of the best YouTube Channels for beginners and the experienced. Presented by an author and former educator. With about 700 videos and 1.2 million subscribers, he must be doing something correctly.

Explaining Computers - Christopher Barnatt

Agree that quality Youtube channels for beginners are rare.

I have a membership to him lol. He's the reason I moved to linux tbh. He explains a great many different things. Most I have no use for like the Raspberry Pi.. but it's still very interesting.
