So far I've tried Gatsby, Next and Hugo for my English blog (Arabic blog still running WP).

Gatsby for some reasons were to buggy and sounded more headache compared to WP, so didn't dive deep and skipped it in the early stages of designing.

Next as amazing and so many features for the more demanding sites, plus the server-side thing. But I thought it's too much for my simple blog.

Hugo is the more straightforward for blogs IMO, very simple to setup and manage and update. for beginner web-developer there are a wide variety of ready to use Templates which you can use them as a starting point in the learning process.

I like how simpler it can manages single pages and blog entries.
