Recommend listening to some podcasts/watching some campaigns, if those are your kind of thing. Critical Role is the big one, but there are tons out there that might help you figure out what you like.

One of the handbooks (I think for DMs) has a page dedicated to finding out what you like. I still think everyone should look at it so they can pin down what they want out of a campaign. The list goes Acting, Exploring, Instigating, Fighting, Optimizing, Problem Solving, Storytelling. The page is called "Know Your Players."

Otherwise finding a game (like at your local comics shop) will probably be your best bet at actually getting a feel for D&D. You can also find beginner-friendly games on Roll20.

Seconding watching/listening to a campaign to get a feel for it! Aside from Crit Role, some others I recommend are: Dimension 20 (they have several short campaigns), NADDPOD, The Adventure Zone, Dungeons and Daddies, Rusty Quill Gaming

Thank you for the recs!
I wasn't sure where to look because Critical Role seemed a bit over-whelming to me right now, but the short campaigns sounds like a good start for me :D

Thank you!

That's actually really good advice for the 'Know your players' bit because I think I probably would have head-dived into what sounded interesting rather than really looked into it properly.
