Blender Guru's Donut tutorial is regarded as the "Hello World" of Blender. Long tutorials will start getting boring after a certain period of time. So I would suggest following a couple of random Ducky 3D's abstract designs after this one. After that follow the OG IanHubert's lazy 1 minute tutorial.It contain only the core concepts remaining you have to explore and find out. Checkout Polyfjord also.

You must do this Blender Donut tutorial series. It is a rite of passage and source of bonding with other people, but it is also quite excellent. You may do other things too, but this is where you need to start.

Agreed. In life there aren’t many times where there is one clear and correct answer, but this is one of those times.

100% agreed, the Donut tutorial is great. Make sure to use the 3.0 version instead of the 2.8 version, he released an updated tutorial with the improved Blender UI:

PS, definitely use an external mouse! You cannot really only use the trackpad/keyboard for Blender effectively.

You can definitely skip the animation sections at the end unless they interest you.
That the thing about his series: You can skip any topic.

This is really the way to go, Blender Guru covers all the things. He also has a modeling playlist that is really well done for after the Donut:
