[opensuse-factory] Introduction to openSUSE
Hi, Before I even start making more progress than it's worth, I wanted to show you something I'm implementing, which I'm well aware will get me some slack, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Coming from other distros or OSes to openSUSE might be a little tough and I would like to make it easier. I heard a compliants about it almost everywhere, so it would be nice to clear out some misunderstandings before users start to use openSUSE. This is why I wanted to use Korora's awesome welcome app in openSUSE and adjust it so it fits nicely within our needs. https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-welcome While it's far from complete, it already shows the basic operation of itself. Readme for first time users, links to social medias, encouragement to contibute etc. Problem here is however that for every current TW user, which updates after this would be added to default desktops patterns, it would show up on next reboot, which I know will be annoying to some, so this is both heads-up and call for contributions by interested parties :D It's also a great place to discuss what you would like to see added to this kind of application (zypper dup for TW, guidance on btrfs and snapper etc.), I would like both technicalities and community to be represented well within it. It follows "Have a lot of fun..." motto as best as I could make it so far.

There is once a very good-looking welcome screen in openSUSE and had
been used for years.

Seems that after Plasma 5 is introduced it disappears as well. :-(

Not exactly. We did have it in the first Plasma5 versions as well, upto 5.4 IIRC. But the text was outdated, and it even was untranslated, and nobody cared to fix that. So it got disabled shortly before the Leap 42.1 release, and later dropped completely. See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=950863 The code itself is still in the plasma5-openSUSE source package in Leap 42.1 at least (IIANM), so it should be possible to resurrect it if desired.

Looks like a good little project, I always liked the old welcome screen years ago. The checkbox should say "don't show again" however, that's usually how they work in other pop-up messages.
