in reply to elementary • • •Since the release of OS 8 we’ve been working on things like improving contrast, Dark Mode screenshots and brand colors in AppCenter, turning on or snoozing Dark Mode without canceling your schedule, expanding the “Reduce Motion” setting, and more options to reduce distracting notifications. Plus, thanks to feedback from @fireborn—who you may know from his blog series on Linux accessibility—Notifications and the Shortcut Overlay both got releases that add screen reader support

in reply to elementary • • •As a community that includes folks with a range of disabilities ourselves, we’re deeply invested in improving access to Open Source software. We succeed at our mission when we build open computing experiences that are available regardless of ability and fail when accessibility is considered an afterthought or a nice-to-have. This month and always, Inclusive Design is at the core of what we do and we will continue to strive towards that ideal

in reply to Not🐧A🐧Convicted🐧Felon • • •It won't do so automatically, I personally think there is just too much guesswork for the installer to do there (as in, too much potential for things to go horribly wrong)
but nothing is stopping you from partitioning your drive how you see fit, then giving the installer 1-2 partitions for either the root as a whole or boot+root.

in reply to Alexia Starling • • •@alexia @sleepyfox You don’t even need to do that if you’re installing on 2 different drives.
Arguably, that should be the default for every installer that has a duelboot option. As it’s much safer. Installing windows and any distribution of Linux on the same drive is asking for trouble.
