While I definitely understand the need for a specialized version of Sonar/Manjaro for visually impaired and disabled users, I can see where Peter is coming from. Oftentimes when I work on computer systems, I am working with sighted individuals. When their Windows system is completely wrecked, I typically offer to put a Linux distribution on the system for them. If the Manjaro team would be open to fixing the issues which prevented Orca from functioning on the GNOME Spin, and would maybe implement other things, then that truly would be ideal. That would make Manjaro a great distribution to place on machines which once ran broken Windows systems. You know, I was so much in search of a rolling release distribution that I had given openSUSE a try also (because of its Tumbleweed repository). It crashed due to the same exact video related issues which caused Fedora problems. The live medium would work until I opened the Activities Overview, but then my screen would fill with raster dots and the system would lock up entirely. Trust me, it is very, very refreshing to see this coming up and working so well!
