Nice! I must admit the last time I've had a tutorial run on first run after an install was a while ago and it was not more than a splash screen.
I'd still argue any tutorial should be opt-out. Advanced users like us can skip it, but to be honest, I'd imagine most of us are self taught (looking at the comments).... So the chances of fundamental knowledge gaps are high enough that we could possibly see some benefit, especially when switching to a new DE or distro with a different packager.

So you're right, there is likely a lot of gaps that are missing. Especially for people who tried to learn Gnome years back, and thought it really sucked and never bothered to try it out here and there. I try to do that with KDE and run it like a week here or there each year... still end up going back to Gnome.
Edit: There is a package in Debian called gnome-initial-setup. Guessing that's the one that Debian never bothers to install, that likely should be there.

Totally fair. I'm not familiar with gnome after 2, having moved to XFCE. I'll even admit, I have KDE on my PC since 2018. Never really used it before that. Still barely know how it works. Basically, if I run into something, I'll have to Google and trust the ultimate Linux resources: Some Guy's Blog. I hopefully have a basic enough understanding of Linux to recognize if the advice is fishy, but I really can't hold a new user to that.
