I clicked on the doc link from within the native editor. It is less of a tutorial than I had hoped. Do you have a suggestion for getting started with it?

The step by step docs have been very useful for me:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_...
If you're a "work bacwards from a finished project" kind of person, this tutorial is quite great as well
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_...
That's great. And, I love that the examples all specify /home/ubuntu as the home directory, so the author is clearly using Linux. This is really cool.
Yes "Your First Game" is a fine place to start even if it tells you to read some other things first. I'm a big fan of diving in to get something running, then searching or backtracking to learn the fundamentals if you need to.
There were a couple of typos in there that I ran into, it shouldn't be too hard with a little programming experience to notice these. I didn't download the finished files because I think typing it out is a much richer learning experience.
I recently got started by following couple videos on YouTube which are not hard to find. I've just followed very basic lessons, mainly to get familiar with non-programming aspects (scripting part is very easy if you already know programming).
There is also a Humble Bundle out there right now where you can get some basic lessons as low as $1[1]
