One addition. As a user, I usually expect for a prominent Download link somewhere on the page. In this case, that's the Compatible Products menu item. Somehow we need to make it clear that those two things are equal.
EDIT: I see we now have a Releases button. Better, but IMHO it still doesn't sound like "Click here if you want to try Jakarta EE".
I just noticed this issue, but it's pretty much what I've been thinking about as well.
Thanks @ggam for starting the effort!
I think the place for this is the starter project. https://start.jakarta.ee. It is also available under Resources->Starter for Jakarta EE.
Maybe the link to the starter page once it's all in a better shape should feature more prominently on the home page.

Maybe from the start page, links to say the tutorial shouldn't go to https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/jakartaee-tutorial, which is the project "frame", but directly to https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/jakartaee-tutorial/toc.html
The tutorial should, I think, not be displayed full screen (making the user lose all sense of navigation), but embedded in the site's overal design, at least with the Jakarta EE navigation in the header.
This is probably duplicated and superceeded by https://github.com/jakartaee/jakarta.ee/issues/1675

Describe the solution you'd like I propose to add a new "Getting started" page with the following information, aimed at beginners:
