Re: [orca-list] Antergos the next Arch alternative which works

[David Hunt <dahunt posteo de>]

Thanks to a few people for the warnings re:  accessibility bugs in 
chnchi. Mindful of these, I just did an installation of Antergos, and it 
appears to work as expected, except the use of lightdm instead of gdm; 
that's easily fixed.  I appreciate the application group choices the 
installer presents; provides a little customization of your installed 
system.  I don't know what the minimal installer offers; if it's not a 
gui, perhaps espeakup could be added?



Cheers,



Dave
