@970uts1d3@defcon.social @philcowans@universeodon.com my experience putting KDE in front of new Linux users is that they get confused in all the options in the control panel and then all the stuff you can do on the desktop. KDE is a better place for more advanced users who knows what they want and wants lots of tweakability. GNOME hides most of the advanced stuff behind extentions/add-ons and dconf/gsettings, the default GNOME UX is "no bullshit" and straight to the point for new users. This particular newcomer user seems to want an "It just works" experience without lots of hassle. My guess is that GNOME would be a better starting point to get used to Linux and encourage to explore more options later on, once comfortable with Linux.
