Siglent is definitely a value-for-money option. I'd noticed a few years back where Keysight had started creating some nice offers in the education space for entry-level oscilloscopes, but they simply don't have to try as hard as their competitors. So many modern oscilloscopes from even basic brands (also see Rigol) are simply incredible devices well beyond the needs of an average hobbyist. Everyone sets their own needs/budget and honestly for me I've never beat the value and need for much beyond my old Analog Discovery 2 that I grabbed at a sub-$200 education discount way back when...
Good luck!

After watching a couple of YT reviews, and given that this is $100 cheaper than 4 years ago (especially with current inflation), I decided to get one.
It's a journey, and I'm taking all the right pit stops and consuming as much knowledge as I can on the way.

There's lots of boring stuff you can do with them. This is by far the coolest https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4gibcRf
My best suggestion is to simply do as much "hands-on" tinkering as you can. I am a s/w engineer that is mostly self-taught regarding electronics. I've done lots of reading and know a lot of theory but one of the best ways to really get it is to see the actual effects of playing with a circuit. You can use the animated circuit simulators to help a bit with this, but there's nothing like taking a working circuit and swapping out some components or modifying it a bit to see what happens. That's the best teacher.
Also, one of the problems is that there are many different kinds of circuits and there is a lot to learn for each. Specifically, digital circuits are going to be very different from analog ones.
I can read software and understand what is going on pretty easily, but am always amazed at how people like BigClive, EEVblog, etc. can look at a circuit and see what is going on. But like I said earlier, they can do this because they have put in the years experience.
I hope my comments don't discourage you.
That's hard to answer. The easy answer is "to look at electrical signals", but that's like saying "I use my computer screen to look at what my computer shows me". Two specific use cases I've had are using it to see an EKG using some gold cup electrodes, resistors, and op amps and using it to see a pulse in a fingertip using an LED, a photodiode, some resistors, and op amps.
As someone said earlier, it's kind of like a multimeter that logs all the numbers over time on a graph, so you can see the signal. There's a lot more to it, and a lot more it can do though.
Paperweight in your case
