I’m interested in learning how to make a proper PCB rather than perf board with wires all over the place.

I would recomment to try Kicad for this. It is free and should do just what you want.
Kicad is great. It also has a huge community behind it so there are plenty of tutorials and ways to get help
Another vote for Kicad. I have done a small project with it and it worked perfectly.
KiCad. Stay away from closed-source tools. They’ll all try to press out the max amount of money sooner or later. Or get bought and discontinued for eliminating competition.
KiCAD is good and has no vendor lock-in.
There are very good beginner tutorials and videos explaining typical workflows.
It features also stuff like auto-routing, error checking, part lists and 3D previews.
I use Altium Designer and KiCAD. KiCAD isn’t as good by just a hair but makes up for it by being free and open-source. Altium Designer is also crazy expensive for hobbyists.
