I'm new to Blender and I want to make this transition smoother. I've already tried looking on Youtube, but nothing work's (including Boolean. I don't know why).
The transition in question:

Join the two pipes with CTRL+J, then in Edit Mode select the edge loop of the right pipe with ALT+LMB and move it a bit to the right with G to make enough space for a bridge.
Select the edge loops of both ends of the pipes you want to join and go to Edge > Bridge Edge Loops. You can also move the pipes around a bit to make this transition look smoother, before or even after this operation.
You can also just use one pipe and in Edit Mode select the edge loop you want to extend and CTRL+RMB to any location where you want to bend to. Repeatedly do this to get a curve as well.
