MODERATORS
I don't think they do. But once you've already started looking into swapping the desktop environment from whichever is the default, I don't think you can call yourself a newcomer anymore.
Well, yes, that's why I asked. Some newcomers to linux find Plasma more familiar than GNOME et al. Having it preinstalled can help them get comfortable faster, with less effort.
Wanting a windows-like environment makes sense. It's not specifically Plasma, but Mint has Cinamon which is very Windows-like.
I was a Win XP/7 user that bought a laptop with Windows 8.1, emigrated to Linux, and found that Cinnamon felt more like Windows to me than Windows did.
