Personally I think a page of tutorials like  "HOW TO USE THE FEDORA
DESKTOP" would be a good thing. Heck make it part of the release
process. If you want something to be included as a feature for release
N+1 it needs to have material to be added to start.

Even if the content is linking to tutorials and such on KDE, GNOME,
systemd etc sites.

Or to make a tl;dr

I think start should be for making it easier for users to "start" using the OS.
