Re: [orca-list] Orca and current best compatible linux distro and desktop

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

Unless something has recently changed you should stick to the LTS releases of Ubuntu for best accesibility, 
i.e. 14.04. 
Vinux5 will be coming out son and you can try the three most accessible desktops along side each other with 
this distro. 
It is more of a question of your personal computing style and what you like now. Gnome is where accessibility 
should be best, but it has its own bugs 
and issues, and personally I find some non accessibility issues with gnome close to show stoppers for me even 
though I like the basic interface design. 
If your hardware is slow and or short on RAM then Mate is probably your best choice.
There have been a lot of posts comparing desktops on this list over the last several months. You might want 
to browse those posts. 
There is no right or wrong answer to this question, and with new software relelases bugs are fixed and new 
ones appear.
