This term is predominantly used in technology and digital contexts in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, particularly among younger and more tech-literate populations, the English term 'setup' is often used alongside Portuguese 'configuração inicial.' The concept reflects the globalized nature of technology adoption and user experience design, where companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft have popularized standardized onboarding processes worldwide.
