@ankiadict The ULX3S is really nice if you can get your hands on one. @cyao's Icepi Zero might also be a good option. Generally I would recommend something which is supported by the Yosys & nextpnr open-source toolchain as it is very nice to work with. Both boards I mentioned above work nicely with it in my experience.

Yes, Radiona ULX3S is a very nice board to start with!
For an intro to FPGAs, https://github.com/BrunoLevy/learn-fpga by @BrunoLevy01 is a nice place to be if you dream of designing your own processor.

@ankiadict I also have the ULX3S and had quite some fun with it. Also the mentioned examples are really nice. For advanced stuff I really like this collection ( https://github.com/emard/ulx3s-misc - or other repos from emard).
Recently I adopted the GateMateA1-EVB from Olimex. It's very nice too and everything open source. There ain't as much resourced for it yet, so maybe not that beginner friendly, but for 50 bucks a nice product
