Re: [orca-list] which distro for testing orca

["Andy B." <sonfire11 gmail com>]

The last time I had Arch installed, I couldn't get Gnome/orca installed and running. By default, I went to 
the shell instead of Gnome. Is there a way to fix that?

I do believe that Joani, the lead Orca dev uses Fedora, but I do not think there is any reason to prefer 
fedora over some other distros, e.g. Arch, and probably Manjaro, Ubuntu-gnome, or some others. Trisquel, 
Debian testing, and Gentoo are other  options that I suspect would be fine, and if you are blind you may 
prefer F123  or Vinux, but personally I would lean toard Arch to have a rolling release distro where you 
should always have access to latest versions of most packages and little if any tamporing with what comes 
from upstream to confuse things.
While Orca is certainly a Gnome thing, and more often than not gnome will be the  most overall accessible 
desktop I think there is a lot of interest in making  other graphical environments work well with orca and 
making orca work well with other graphical environments. Now for instance while mate has some issues, it does 
not have some that gnome does.
