For an absolute beginner, definitely PyTorch is what I would recommend. It’s like an extension of numpy.

Both frameworks are extremely matured and will get the job done no matter what you throw at it (I don’t get what you mean by practicality).

For industry purposes, if you have a particular company in mind, then check which framework they use (ask some employee on LinkedIn) and learn that framework (some companies still have their codebases in TF1, they never updated). If you are in the market for a job hunt, then having both on your CV will give you the best chance.
