Nirvana is one of the most extreme cases of apophatism. This is why I recommended you read a more official source on the subject, because I'm really not qualified to say what Nirvana is or isn't.
The two most frequent ways to describe Nirvana are those I gave you: the unconditioned end of suffering, eternal bliss.

>You have said that nirvana is the blissful end of suffering, but I do not understand what you mean
What don't you understand? When there is no suffering or afflictions of any kind, there is Nirvana.
Nirvana is always described in cryptic ways, I urge you to read suttas or explanations by actual monks. I'm just an anonymous dumbass who has never experienced even a glimpse of it.

It's not just "not caring"
It's bliss and more than that

the buddha said that nibbana was impossible to really describe with words or to cognize with rational thought, it can only be experienced. however he did give some descriptions of it, so that people would know what they were getting into at least.
the main statement that can be made about nibbana is that it is the absolute cessation of suffering. but there are sometimes other descriptions of it in the suttas, like pic related for example.
so yeah, you'll see when you get there, in the meantime no words can truly explain what it's like, but we have some approximations.
