I've almost successfully convinced my girlfriend to ditch Windows, so I'll probably install kubuntu on her laptop soon. She uses the pc only for very basic operations, web browsing, office suite and a little bit of gaming.
I wanted to customize KDE Plasma so that the switch from Windows will be the simpler as possible. What customization would you suggest me?

If she doesn't have Nvidia gpu, then install her the LMDE5 and here's why: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128

It'll save you all the time spend customizing the UI as it should always been done by the end user.

KDE is great but requires tinkering so therefore I don't recommend for the first-time users.

What tinkering does KDE require?

The settings must be crawled through right answer the install to customize it as the user likes. Not actually tinkering lol

I like the default look as do many others I think. As for changing the looks I'd wager most Windows users just want to change the wallpaper which is very simple.
