I've always loved Shadowrun but I'm afraid of the rules. And I don't have players.
Try Shadowrun Anarchy; it keeps the same flavor but is more rules-light and less complex.
As for players, try RPGCrossing. I used to play on myth-weavers but they've gone the route of abandoning their long-term users and forcing an unwanted site update so I recommend staying away from them now.
I want to get into the Shadowrun setting, but I don't care a lick about the rules.
I'd run it FKR style. Where's a good place to get a crash course in the setting?
At this point I don't know. I read a bunch of the novels back in the 90s. I'm guessing there are some good primers out there.
The most succinct is on Wikipedia. Fandom hosts a more precise and an extremely precise timeline.
There are many different rulesets more and less official to run it. Find one you like and go ahead
