I was playing D&D 5e up until January. Then, with the OGL fiasco I decided to try learning Pathfinder 2e. I have been playing through the Beginner Box for that and I like it a lot more than D&D already!

Somewhat similar to you. I've mostly played 5e, and am playing in two active campaigns currently. However I purchased foundryVTT recently and am teaching myself Pathfinder 2e so that I can GM my first campaign down the road.

I really like the 3-action economy Pathfinder has, and the way bonuses and penalties work compared to the 5e system. Though there's so many choices in character creation it can feel a little overwhelming.

Agreed on it feeling a bit overwhelming at first. I played an intro session during Foundry Con and it was ok with the automation and pre-gen characters but no way I could GM it yet. I somehow missed the Pathfinder Humble Bundle but hope to grab it the next time they do it (seems to happen a few times a year.)

I'm definitely looking into automation and tools in Foundry to make things easier. Luckily there seems to be a good amount of community plugins available for both 5e and Pathfinder. I might do a 5e one-shot first to get some experience using the tool before I move to a new system. I also missed the humble bundle, but good to know it comes around a few times a year!
