That's a very good point, and SteamOS pretty much proves it - newness is less scary with a guide.
It's what the monoliths do as well, though their 'tutorials' are mostly covered by just how railroaded the user is by all of the limitations.
Heck, took me a while to get on Lemmy when thinking about looking up then subbing to familiar communities, but then I found a list with links to equivalents for most of the ol' Reddit stomping grounds, so it was just a matter of signing up then clicking through several hyperlinks, which was significantly easier! Took about 15 minutes to be back at doomscrolling.
