how to learn emacs fast? (alien.top)

i don't know why anyone would use emacs is what i thought first

but now i've developed an understanding about why people use it

​

now i want to switch to emacs but the learning curve is insane

is there a tutorial for learning to use emacs step by step because i want to learn emacs fast and the only way to do it is using a well guided video series i believe or maybe a well made website or blog post

​

because i now just get flustered when i start using emacs because there's so much to learn

​

what should i learn first is my question because just reading help document doesn't help a noob like me?

​

as of now i can only give around 3 hours to learn emacs but i would give more if i could

​

i have used neovim with lsp for 1 year now how much time would it take for me to be faster at emacs than i'm currently in vim?

​

i would really apprecitate the answer of highlighted question and the main question

​

also please don't give an answer like it would depend on many things ( of course it would depend on many factors)

but i want to know how much time would it take for you to be better at emacs you would have been at vim after learning it for around a year+

You have used vim/nvim so consider using doom emacs.

1 yr experience in vim is quite limited though, maybe the first thing you need to know is the pace of learning emacs/vim depends on how fast you can do the iteration of "read doc + practice"
