Hello, Fedora Project people !!!
Hello Amanda, and welcome. I just sponsored you in the QA team. Being a beginner in the Linux universe is not an issue, IMHO. By joining this team you have the chance to learn various things, also how to use Fedora Linux :-D At the same time I think that tests performed by a non expert are also valuable (I don't want to say that I'm an expert, indeed I have to learn a looooot of things). In addition, if geraldosimiao is willing to assist you, I think that you have a great chance to learn and to help the community.
This list will get updates on different testing related activities and updates from time to time. Subscribing the test-announce list can be useful as well.
You can start to test updates in [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 32 and Fedora 33. Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out a +1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort the packages with Fedora Releases and tags viz "pending" & "testing". You can read much about update testing here [1]. You can also use the RPM package fedora-easy- karma for giving out feedbacks from the command line for the installed packages (enable the updates-testing repository!).
Running release validation tests [2] [3] on Rawhide could be also useful.
We usually involve ourselves in activities marked in [4], you can catch us mostly at #fedora-qa on freenode IRC or Telegram.
If you have any question, please ask!

Yes, I agree this is very useful. However, for the start, I recommend you only focus on things that you really do use on Linux to see how that works and then you can explore more.
Running release validation tests [2] [3] on Rawhide could be also useful.
Validation testing is where I would recommend to start completely, because we have nice test cases written step by step, so first you will be guided and helped through things and second, you will learn a lot about Linux itself.
If I could be of any help to you - explanations, help, guidance ... feel free to drop a line.
