Re: [orca-list] Use Linux as a daily driver

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hi, Oyvind

I recommend Ubuntu Gnome.  You may find that it has fewer such gaps in what is spoken.  Stock Ubuntu comes 
with the Unity desktop environment where such gaps in the applets have been around for a while now.  It's a 
pretty good desktop for the most part but Gnome is more accessible in my opinion.  You can also try Ubuntu 
Mate.  

For using Linux every day, my recommendations are Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora.  Ubuntu because it's probably the 
most user-friendly, Debian because it's the most stable and Fedora because it's the most current.  

Thanks.
Alex M

I downloaded Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit from one of the Norwegian mirrors and the image works fine.
I wrote it to a USB flash drive and booted into Ubuntu on my laptop to take it for a spin.
I found that some of the system applets or whatever they are called did not speak.
Orca just said "image" but the clock, bluetooth status, battery status and volume read just fine.
One of those just speaking image were the wifi applet.
However, I figured out which was the wifi applet and connected to my network.
I then started firefox and surfed the net just to get a feeling on how Orca performs.
I have not installed Ubuntu 15.10 yet though.
I ran it from the usb flash like a live cd so to speak.
