Thirty settings pages is the opposite of the usual problem: a person arriving from GNOME, macOS or Windows cannot tell which few things matter. This is those few, once, on the first start. Not a tour. Nobody reads a tour, and a multi-step wizard on a desktop somebody just installed is one more thing between them and using it. One card, five keys, and a way out. The chords come from the live keymap rather than being written here, so a machine whose owner has already rebound something teaches what they actually have. A welcome screen is the one surface read by somebody with no way to tell it is wrong, which is exactly why it must not be. Two deliberate departures from how every other surface behaves. It does not close on a click outside, because a stray click in the first thirty seconds would throw away the only explanation on offer. And dismissing by any route marks it seen, Escape included, because a desktop that reintroduces itself every login has failed to take no for an answer. It stays reachable from the launcher afterwards, since the moment somebody wants it again is exactly when a one-shot has thrown it away. Also teaches the keymap to spell punctuation: slash, period, comma and the rest were rendering as their raw keysym names, so the welcome screen offered "Super + slash" and the cheatsheet agreed with it.
