Re: [orca-list] will installing mate mess up sighted users?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

In no way does it get in the way other than the possible need to disable a few startup appications as 
mentioned. 
This may be partially or completely dealt with automatically now, but I'd check after adding and either 
remaster to clean this up if needed, or if that 
is hard then inform users which services to uncheck in startup apps. 
The most I remember seeing was polkit, screensaver and sharing or similar I think that was for samba, and any 
indicaters that you might have appearing 
in the mate startup apps list.
At any rate inconvenience would be the same for sighted and non-sighted users.
If you have people who have used Linux desktops for a few years I suspect you will find many who like it. 
Mate is probably the best maintained of the 
GUIs   that are not search centric such as Unity and gnome, and is quite popular on several distros last I 
checked.
