I share a similar experience as parent. I only use my laptop for compiling iOS apps, almost everything else happens on my iPad Pro 10" with keyboard (want to upgrade to the larger size next). I don't think it takes months to learn the basics, but it does to work out all the little annoying differences between an iPad and MBP in your workflows, some of which aren't everyday things. The iPad isn't perfect, but it is great IMO.

It's not giving people time to learn the basics. It's giving people time to retrain their brain because it's a different device that solves problems differently.

That’s also how you get habituals to stop complaining O365 isn’t Blackberry Work, or any other change to a tool that had become ‘second nature’.

You have to unlearn or overwrite the second nature.

You also have to be prepared for many weeks of the special frustration of not knowing how to do a thing, or if it even can be done, and of any task potentially turning into a multi-hour rabbit hole of trying to figure out if and how to do it.
