Are there softwares to simulate enough electronics and microcontrollers to learn? (sh.itjust.works)

I wanted to learn more about electronics, and I found this https://www.open.edu/openlearn/science-maths-technology/an-introduction-electronics/content-section-0 to start from so I can have a grasp on theories first, and I want to try learning microcontrollers afterwards but I can't afford to buy any IRL atm, are there any softwares to simulate them to assist on learning without having the physical hardware? I'd be happy if anyone could give me any tips toward that, thank you if you read this far

Proteus (closed source, paid) has a whole range of microcontrollers, and I've found it to be great (pirated it). There is also Simulide (open source) with a more limited bunch of microcontrollers which I havent used much but was pretty nice.

Both allow you to attach your MCU to external circuits with Proteus in particularly having a wide range of components you can use. They also have tools for measuring and oscilloscopes, etc.
