+1. Having a first-start tutorial for Plasma would let us improve a bit
the defaults (Plasma is still suggested as better DE for old Windows
versions users, Windows evolves and we still look like Windows 7). Just
few steps, like "here there are the applications", "these are hot corner
effects", "you can search with Alt+Space"...
Another matter in my opinion is the wizard: it should be an icon placed
by default on desktop that say "First setup" or something like it. When
the user will be ready to try it, the wizard will suggest to setup
online accounts like email with Kontact, choose a Look & Feel package
and setup KDE Connect.
It could eventually suggest to install some additional apps like VLC.
When it will be possible to sync Plasma settings with something like
Nextcloud or local backups, for sure it should be proposed to the user
to import his settings.
Cheers,
