We still get some newcomers complaining that the configuration options are too much for them so we could make a simplified wizard that would address the essentials. This would also perhaps tone down the need for and discussion about flipping defaults. We could have questions such as: - how would you like your desktop to be organized? Windows style, Mac style, Ubuntu style etc. - do you prefer a light or dark theme? -> with allowing an option for a light theme with a dark panel - how big should the fonts be? -> just a slider with real-time preview, if not of Plasma then sample text in the dialog - do you wish to use single click or double click to open files? - etc. -> something else of relevance It wouldn't even necessarily have to pop-out upon first boot, just be somewhere prominent in system settings. But even if it pops-out, that's not that unprecedented in the Linux world, XFCE for example asks you for the preferred panel configuration. And you can always add a big SKIP button.
