Apparently, the new version is different and the practice tutorials aren't adjusted to it. He spent two hours looking around for the right code just for the Space Shooter tutorial.
As Kylotan has said Game dev is a very challenging thing. If your end goal is to pursue this purely as a hobby you can go straight into Gamemaker and fiddle around to understand how systems work. But do keep in even with Game maker you're going to come across a lot outdated facts. To be honest most see it as a drawback but I see it as an opportunity to challenge yourself; You're always going to come across something that is either outdated or has no answer on the web no matter what package you use.
The reason I stress with Unity is because it is one of the industry standard tools which is extremely beginner friendly. You're going to come across a lot of limitations with Gamemaker but as I said if all that you want to do is get a game running then that would suffice.
