Bisq can be intimidating at first, but it works. Always try to make an offer around spot price instead of taking an order from the book, if you can wait, someone will usually take your offer within a day (and that's in a CAD market, with low liquidity compared to USD or EUR) Good luck!

I have stopped using bisq since we have a no-kyc offer now in Canada. You can load your account through the post office in cash and then buy bitcoin.
