There is no "ultimate guide" for learning chess. It is simply about finding what works best for you. Different people have different learning styles. Some people learn best with lectures on YouTube, some people read best with chess books and some people do best with playing a lot of games and analyzing them. Ideally, experiment with all of these forms of learning and more - but primarily stick with what works for you
As for openings, a resource you could begin with is a blog post on Opening Principles I wrote.

Hello chess players I've recently got into Chess and am becoming obsessed with it so I want the ultimate begginers practice guide. I'm talking what to focus on, popular methods and patterns, good websites, the works I got Chessable because of a youtube ad and am focusing on opening fundamentals. My biggest problem is just remembering all the different openings or getting others mixed up but have noticed a lot of them have similar patterns like moving the pawn to E4 and then bringing out your knight to F3 Also throw in any big begginer mistakes or bad habits and replace it with good ones. Hope you guys get some good material and helps out everyone's games!
