I want to try something like DnD, but I'm not into fantasy setting, so I would like to know about GURPS. Is it hard to learn and play?
GURPS has a fair bit of modularity from what I hear. It can be easier or harder depending on what setting and rules you're using. But as far as "hard to learn and play" goes, in my opinion the first TTRPG you play is going to be the hardest to learn. You will develop a number of skills that transfer over to other games, like knowing how to make an attribute or skill check, navigating character creation, or sharing time at the table with other folks. Some TTRPGs are going to have more to learn, or their rulebooks are poorly edited messes, but those fundamental skills will still make it easier to learn them.
Regardless of what game you start learning with, I hope you enjoy it! And don't listen to anyone who says D&D can do any type of setting or genre: they're simply wrong.
