It probably doesn’t matter too much which assembly language you learn. In some sense they’re all relatively similar. If you want to learn it for a specific purpose you should learn the language you’re hoping to use. Otherwise, RISC-V, Arm, and MIPS are all pretty nice and clean. x86 is kind of ugly and it might be a little distracting when trying to learn the basics, but it’s probably what your computer has and it’s cool to learn on your actual device.

Other possibilities… TIS-100 and Shenzhen IO are both games where you do some assembly programming. They’re somewhat artificial, but honestly they’ll give you a good introduction.
