Description of problem: Plasma Welcome does a great job of introducing people to Plasma, but it also offers prompts and settings that are inappropriate when booted into a live environment. This is inappropriate and can give the user the impression they are configuring the environment that they'll use (though that's not true at all). Plasma Welcome needs to be disabled in live environments to avoid this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.27.1-1.fc38 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a Fedora KDE live image Actual results: Plasma Welcome starts up and gives a tour while helping the user configure the live environment. Expected results: Plasma Welcome does not do this. Additional info: There is upstream work to add a live environment specific mode, but this will not be ready for Fedora Linux 38.
Blech, I write this ticket and realize I should have just written it more simply for livesys-scripts. Changing to livesys-scripts...
