I’m interested in learning how to make a proper PCB rather than perf board with wires all over the place.

KiCAD is good and has no vendor lock-in.
There are very good beginner tutorials and videos explaining typical workflows.
It features also stuff like auto-routing, error checking, part lists and 3D previews.
I use Altium Designer and KiCAD. KiCAD isn’t as good by just a hair but makes up for it by being free and open-source. Altium Designer is also crazy expensive for hobbyists.
KiCad. Stay away from closed-source tools. They’ll all try to press out the max amount of money sooner or later. Or get bought and discontinued for eliminating competition.
