KDE introduces a first-run setup wizard |
 |
The KDE project is introducing a few new changes to the Plasma desktop. One of the big changes is the introduction of a first-run setup wizard that can help users create accounts on systems where the distribution was pre-installed for them. "This week Plasma gained an initial system setup wizard! For a few years now, we've had Welcome Center, which runs after you log in for the first time. But what creates the user account you log into?
If you're the person who installed the OS, the installer did it after you told it what username and password you wanted. But what if someone else ran the installer? Say, the company you bought the computer from. Or the last person who wiped the machine before giving or selling it you. In this case, no user acounts have been set up, so something needs to do that.
KDE Initial System Setup now takes care of it! Kristen McWilliam has brought KISS from an internal skunkworks project to a production-ready part of the OEM setup story. KISS lands in Plasma 6.5.0." The KDE blog post offers details on additional changes.
