What can a newbie use to practice crypto mining? What software and how can I go about it?

Don't know if you heard. But right now there is no profits to be made with GPU mining. ETH had high profitability for years and 2 weeks ago it went POS which means you can't mine it anymore.

You can mine many coins right now, however you will not make a profit when you factor in your electrical cost. There is also ASIC mining which might be profitable with low power but the equipment is not cheap. And that type of mining is not done on a computer but its stand-alone equipment.

Based on my research I read it's not going to be like this for long, I read that mining is more profitable in a bull market and it's better to build a rig when a bull market is about to start, funny thing is how will one know when bull market is about to start?

Study this article carefully. The problem is not the absence of a bull market. A huge share of mining was occupied by the TOP 2 project - Ethereum.

There are no new coins yet, and EthereumPoW, Ethereum classic and other forks cannot give a good profit to miners, and in most cases only losses. Electricity is getting more expensive in all countries, but there are still a lot of miners.
