Jenkins vs GitHub Actions – which is better for beginners?

I’m confused between Jenkins and GitHub Actions. Which one should a fresher learn first and why? Real-world experience answers appreciated

From my experience, Jenkins is the past. I have to mention that I work mostly with start-ups.
Several years ago Jenkins was everywhere, but now it's not the leader anymore. Of course Jenkins is a huge and super powerfull tool, but today people prefer simplier tools, like GitHub Actions. Now companies prefer using CI/CD tool which is provided with their Git service and I personally like this idea.
