❔ i don't know how to start.
Hi, I am a complete beginner, I don't know how to start nor where to start. What should I do, also does it make sense to start with C# as my first programming language? My idea was to learn C# first so after I can learn Unity to make games.

You could get a cheap c# course on Udemy.com, the one that I did included Linq/SQL/WPF and Unity.
I wouldn't learn C# and then learn Unity. I would learn both at the same time. This is how I got started. Follow a tutorial for making a game on YouTube. Also, learn by working on real projects that you want to do, not just ones for the sake of learning. I say this because there will be times when it's not working right, and you're so frustrated trying to figure out why, if it's a learning project you'll just say screw it.
i would definitely not learn both at the same time (even tho it is what i did)
i highly recommend you learn the basics of c# on its own first
That's what I did and what I recommend
This is the opposite of what is usually suggested
First you have to figure out what you want to do (Game, website, Api, etc). No matter what you pick you will first want to learn the basics of C# either via an app, udemy course, or my favorite-Microsoft docs. Once you’ve learned the basics from Command Line applications, then move on to the frameworks for whatever you want to specialize in—Blazor, unity, etc
