just download the old tutorial and use internet archive if it has been removed

OP means that the tutorial itself has become outdated because of the updates to blender since the release of the tutorial
in case OP is serious and not trolling, just look for one of the bajillions of tutorials out there.. it really just comes down to time spent in the editor after you get the basics. it can be intimidating but just spend the time learning the interface, menus, etc and don't layer in expectations i.e. this next project has to be such and such quality, just pretend you're learning to walk and accept the stumbles and shaky first steps.

not sure if I should change everything so it behaves more like Maya or bite through it and embrace the new normal

Isn't there a dropdown that changes viewport control keybinds to match max/maya on the splash screen and in the settings? Never touched it myself though. I started with max and when I switched to blender I manually reconfigured a lot of stuff to what I was used to in max. And I don't think it was good idea, because I prefer not to outright copy settings across versions in fear of breaking something, so every time I get a new version I need to manually rebind like 50 keys. If the dropdown doesn't work for you then you might wanna just adapt if you plan to update often.

clearly the solution is to pirate maya. why would you switch from a Mercedes to a pinto?

Just learn it. It is possible to know multiple ways of doing the same thing. You will be slow and it will be frustrating for a few days but once you learn the blender defaults, you will be able to switch from maya to blender and vice versa with ease

Blender is not a good choice at all, it’s always better to pick or buy anything but blender.

I’ve been looking but like no reputable sources have it, or the ziva plugin

Just change the shortcuts whenever possible. One thing you should get used to is using all the shortcuts instead of clicking buttons or marking menus.

Try the dgVoodoo option in the new win10fix settings.
Alternative: Update your AAU and see if it happens again. If so, disable win10fix, enable wined3d and software vertex processing.
>HELP! Required Windows 11 update broke things!

Damn. This reminds me of how Pepe basically started out as a 'feels bad man' meme.
Nice (and rare) Pepe btw.

Blender has visual gizmos if you want to control the camera like in C4D in 2.8 and newer. I don't know how Maya does it.

What other open source software exists?
Which are specifically for games?
Animation?

What works for me while learning Godot is:
1. Walk through the simplest tutorial (pong) I can find on YouTube, doing the work in tandem with the presenter.
2. Go through the tutorial again and look up the code documentation for literally everything he mentions. Function header, parameters, return values.
3. Go back to the code and slightly modify it, adding new features and asking questions of others on the Godot chat/steam/discord/etc.
4. Continue adding new features until I'm satisfied.
5. Increment the complexity of the tutorial to find on YouTube and repeat from step 1. So Snake is next. Then space invaders. Then tetris. Then mario. Then final fantasy 1. Then zelda 1. Then I'm actually making games I want.
My background is in romhacking/modding, and I have about 1.5 years of community college for computer science under my belt, so maybe I have an advantage here.
Try taking a class on Blender if you feel it will improve your motivation, then follow my "tutorial extended into project" learning model.
I was really burned out from a shitty school, I know how hard it is overcoming a mental/emotional block and the resulting urge to procrastinate. What works for me is refusing to hate myself, to love myself the way my parents should have loved me. It's possible to nurture yourself, and once you learn you will have a power few others do.
Beyond that, I make and remake organized lists of things to do, and pay attention to what tasks throw me off my routine/workflow. Something as simple as having an reference book for the software you use (physical or pirated) reduces cognitive bottlenecks brought on by google searches.

There's a keymap called "Industry Standard" that makes Blender behave more like, well, industry standard.
Only shitty part is that it changes pretty much every other hotkey as well, so Blender tutorials become a little more annoying to follow along with.
I ended up just modifying the default Blender keymap to mimic Maya's viewport navigation, keeping the rest mostly to default.

Get bforartists. It's a proper UI overhaul. You need to concentrate on the tools for now.

I just started a course on Blender at university. I have a really good idea for a Youtube channel that hasn't been done before.

A $10,000 class is teaching you something in blender then you are getting scammed. Every resource of blender is free and so is asking people. If you were doing Art or Animation sure but learning blender in school is itself a scam.
It’s not like Maya, you get free all access to Maya to learn all about it. Maya can get you a job on fields that blender can’t. You learn how expensive and how those equipment work in Maya. Blender can’t do anything with higher efficiency products because Blender never was built for it.
You need to get out of that scam school now.
