Re: [orca-list] favorite linux distros.

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Forgot to mention what I use in my prior response:

I use Ubuntu 14.04 but with the gnome3 and Vinx PPA's enabled for the 
latest gnome and accessibilty experience.  I don't use Unity.  I use 
Gnome Shell 3.12 with Orca 3.14.  It works quite nicely.  Once you get 
used to it, you will find other desktops not as efficient or easy to use 
at times.  For instance, I tried the Gnome-classic interface the oter 
day just to see if I still remembered how to use it and I absolutely 
hated it.  Using an applications menu to find what you want and then 
having your system cluttered up with a desktop window is so last 
decade.  In shell, you hit the super key, type the name of what you want 
to launch and boom!, it finds it for you and you just hit enter and 
there you go.  Grab the gnome-tweaks package, enable the places menu in 
the top bar, get a prefered sound theme  and you're all set.
