The default emacs tutorial is confusing, since it refers to keybindings that are modified (for example, M-x being bound to execute-extended-command). One newcomer to Lisp has fallen in that hole today.

I suggest replacing the whole tutorial file with something that in the very least is not confusing to newcomers (e.g. an empty file, or a file linking to #lisp and #clschool on Freenode or the Lisp Discord server).

I think a good option would be to make whatever opens the tutorial open the portacle help buffer instead

Seems like the elisp function help-with-tutorial should be redefined.
