My kids are learning Blender on Udemy. One of them got started before the other and ended-up with v2.81. The other ended-up starting later and installed 2.83. He couldn't find buttons and certain functions didn't work as per the course he was following. He ended-up installing 2.81 to be able to get on with it. I didn't dig into it so I don't know what the issues were. I seem to remember that object scaling wasn't behaving as it used to. We had two laptops side-by-side with 2.81 vs. 2.83 and they didn't do the same things. Not sure if this is normal with Blender minor version changes. Like I said, going back to 2.81 dealt with the issue, so no big deal.

Blender's versioning is a bit confusing. Change in the second number is not a minor release, but a proper major. They acknowledged it and gonna adopt more conventional versioning scheme for the upcoming 3.x [1] 3d software is a complex thing, many things could be unexpected for inexperienced users. I would suggest asking a question on Blender Stack Exchange [2] instead of downgrading.
