I'm learning Emacs right now as a first time hobbyist. Keep doing the GNU tutorial or jump right in to DT's Doom tutorial?

I felt clunky doing NVIM and could never remember hotkeys for once a week -ish in-situ functional learning. Like I jump in FreeCAD for a few days, come back, and I can't recall a hotkey combo I only used once.
I think I can use Emacs lisp for some actual project goals with AI and other microcontroller projects involving FORTH, that I've never been able to figure out, and code complexity management issues I've never overcome. I still want the menu bar and am really unsure if the evil key bindings are for me. I would probably find it useful if I knew the vim bindings in situations like OpenWRT with busybox only, but it was the extreme complexity of navigating nvim help and key bindings that I found so useless to learn in-situ. Help me navigate this please. I'm being indecisive in a bad way about how to make this pretty, and get it configured.

I recommend Mastering Emacs as a book. Sacha Chua’s page is an embarrassment of riches:
Thanks for the reference. I saw Derek Taylor's (YT Distro Tube) intro to Doom emacs. He used a .org configuration file. Sacha seems to make several references to Org stuff. Is Org the basis of this page: https://sachachua.com/dotemacs/index.html
I like how she has every modification broken down with the sources of the code. I'm trying to avoid getting lost in the weeds be searching for this instead of simply asking. I really need something like this level of organization from the beginning.
