Some recent changes in OpenSSL v3 mean that ripemd160 is no longer available to tools like BTCRecover by default. (No longer available to the Hashlib module in Python, giving an error of: unsupported hash type ripemd160)
It is now considered to be a legacy hash function and this means that you need to edit the OpenSSL configuration so that legacy hash functions are available. This isn't isn't an issue on Windows (though Windows is generally not a good environment to do recoveries in the first place...), but will be increasingly required on Linux and MacOS systems going forward. (And will be fairly common as it's an issue on Ubuntu 22.04, an LTS release)
Once fixed, you can recover full performance, as opposed to crypto wallet and seed recoveries taking 2-3x as long. :)

---------------------
If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc.
For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase: Trading, just start with Binance: sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)
Don't have a hardware wallet?
Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc)
Get a Ledger: you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)
