Prior to 7.3, I could disable the post-first-boot GNOME initial setup window by turning off the "initial-setup-graphical" systemd service. That service no longer exists, so I no longer know how to disable the setup window. I know that I can remove the "gnome-initial-setup" package, but I expect that at some point, it'll be brought in by dependencies or group membership, so I'd like to find a way to turn it off regardless of that package's presence. Does anyone know how, in the new version?

The package puts some files in /etc/xdg/autostart/. You could edit those to prevent autostart.[1]
Another option is to place the file .config/gnome-initial-setup-done in the user's home directory, containing the text "yes".
