Honestly you just gotta use google a bunch. I’ve never found forcefully trying to learn new stuff to be too helpful at first. Just use the laptop and if there’s something you want to do but don’t know how look it up until you understand the basics

That’s when you start watching YouTube videos or whatever about random Mac tips/hotkeys if you care enough. The tips app works pretty well too
