I think there are a few configurations that a beginner would want to =
change right after he starts Emacs, usually very basic settings. If you =
think it=E2=80=99s a good idea, I can go to reddit and ask what people =
missed when then started using Emacs for the first few minutes.=20

FWIW, here is a demo of the guide: https://youtu.be/0qMskTAR2aw

The demo inserts some configurations into ~/.emacs.d/init.el after =
completion.

Others has described the out-of-the-box experience of doom Emacs, it =
seems to me that such job is better done by a =E2=80=9Cdistribution=E2=80=9D=
 of Emacs than by vanilla Emacs. OTHO, vanilla Emacs could add a tiny =
guide like I proposed to more or less improve the life for those who =
started Emacs without reading any tutorial on the internet.
