Not so long ago I bought my first 3D printer. It hasn’t shipped yet, but I’m gathering knowledge so hopefully I’ll be able to use it when it arrives.
One of the things I noticed while choosing the printer was that many specified “perfect first layer”. What’s so special about it? What should a beginner such as I know about it?

It’s where the Spaghetti Monster is most likely to spawn from. True believers don’t walk away until the first layer is complete.
The first layer needs to stick to the build plate well. If it doesn’t stick the print will fail and best case you’ll need to start again.
First layers are notoriously fiddly to get right because there are so many variables that affect it.
