Apple's online documentation is also useful. I would suggest this page
(summarizing Mac OS keyboard commands):

Hi Marlene. Welcome to the group and welcome to the Mac. I've been a Mac user
for 12 years. When I got my first Mac which was a white polycarbon plastic
MacBook running Snow Leopard, I sold my Lenovo PC the same day so I was forced
to learn the Mac. It took me two weeks to learn the OS and I've been loving the
Mac ever since. Someone said on this list a while ago that if you really want
to learn how to use this platform, you should forget everything you know about
Windows and to not use your PC as a crutch when you're frustrated with the Mac.
They were great words and I took them to heart. I think that's why I'm very
good at it. Also, along with this list, I have a Whatsapp group called Mac
Users and Newbies which is also a great group. If you'd like to be added and if
you're on a mobile phone such as iOS or Android, you can send me your contact
information and I'll put you in the group. Enjoy the Mac.

I don’t know why either, but that was certainly the case for me. I think it’s
because there are concepts in the Appleverse that aren’t part of Windows, such
as interacting, and quicknav. Also, in my case, I’d been a PC user for about
twenty years. So there were a lot of things that were basically hard-wired,
and I had to relearn them.
For me, it started with Apple II in the 1980s, then MS-DOS in the early 90s,
then UNIX in the 90s (a Sun clone), followed by Linux - both at the text
console and later the graphical user interface as well. This was followed by
Android, iOS, and then Mac OS. I didn’t have any trouble learning Mac OS, as I
recall.
After that came Windows, learned “mostly on the job” in a work environment, and
some opportunities to experiment a little with Chrome OS (but not to learn it
properly).
My only conclusion is that having learned to use several different systems
already makes the next one easier to learn.
