Seeing reports that the installer in #fedora 42 has regressed where #accessibility is concerned. Haven't tested this but given the track record of most #linux distributions over the last few decades it wouldn't surprise me in the least. This is also why people can't always just #switchToLinux. The day distros don't just preach their a system for the people and that everyone should be able to use it, but actually walk the walk and consistently walk the walk is when I might consider giving switching more time and attention. Until then, I'd rather deal with the devil I know

in reply to Florian • • •@fireborn It's also thankfully something that's being addressed on the Fedora side and there's a workaround for now discussion.fedoraproject.org/t…
Meanwhile I'm planning to turn a spare computer into a little linux homeserver which I haven't gotten around to yet, but I figure if I'm gonna do that I might as well also at least try the gui situation because I last did it in 2015 and it might be fun to blog/podcast about, so this topic of what to go with is kind of fresh on my mind. I figure Fedora is my best bet for being the most up to date when it comes to things like Orca without going to Arch, which is what I had back then and still have ptsd from manually installing mate and then having a half broken audio mixer... So has modern Gnome gotten to the point of being pleasant to use or is Mate still the safer bet? What about Electron based apps, I remember hearing they had accessibility issues when ran from Mate?
Fedora 42 version not working with anaconda orca
