I recently made new account on databricks under Free edition

It by default made SQL warehouse compute, but I want all-purpose compute, as I want test and learn capabilities of PySpark and Databricks.

I can't connect with the serverless compute in the notebook; it gives a mean  error as follows: 

"An error occurred while trying to attach serverless compute.
Please try again or contact support."

Additionally, my SQL Serverless Compute connects with the notebook.

Hello @Navi991100!

In the free edition, creating all-purpose compute isnโ€™t supported, but you can run PySpark code using serverless compute.
For the error youโ€™re encountering while connecting to serverless compute, please try the resolutions shared in this post.

In the free Databricks edition, to use PySpark you need to create and start a cluster, since the SQL Warehouse is only for SQL queries; go to Compute > Create Cluster, set up a free cluster, click Start, and then attach your notebook to it this will fix the โ€œno serverโ€ error and let you run PySpark normally.
