Howdy, You can have a very light setup that is pretty fast, even on minimal hardware. My setup uses ratpoison, which works similar to screen. If you have any experience with screen and the console, you will be right at home using ratpoison pretty quickly. The default dialogs in ratpoison are not accessible with orca though. I have written a script to make things work better. It replaces the inaccessible parts of ratpoison with GTK dialogs. You can get the script from: https://github.com/stormdragon2976/strychnine Just run the script and follow the instructions. You can even choose the key that acts as the ratpoison menu key. In my case, I use control+escape. A few gotchas, ratpoison is not a full desktop, there is no panel, there are no desktop shortcuts, just a blank screen. Each program is ran fullscreen. Without my script, you will have to change programs manually by pressing rp and either n for next or p for previous. You could also select by number, so 0 for the first program you opened, 1 for the second, etc. My script adds the ability to use alt+tab and alt+shift_tab to move through opened apps. As for browsers, possibly Midori. It is a bit quirky, but very light. Maybe if someone wrote an orca script for it it may work better, but I'm not sure. If you decide to give ratpoison and my script a try, let me know if it works for you. You can see all the keybindings with rp+?. If you have questions I'll try my best to help with them. I can talk via email or mumble. HTH, Storm On Fri, Apr 20, 2018 at 04:47:03PM +0530, Krishnakant Mane wrote:

I usually go with Gnome but that lags my system. I've tried Mate but I'm wondering if there's anything more easy to use out there?Hello Jace, It's important for me to have your opinion: what is not easy on Mate? Best regards, Alex.I strongly suggest looking at Mate again.One of my friend here in India tried it with Orca and found it totally worthless. But Now I am using it once again after a couple of years and every thing is accessible.May be you need to set up the theme properly.But Mate is the only way you will get lot of good accessibility, speed on machines with less memory and still have a decent work desk.CMonkey as some one suggested is not as heavy as Firefox. Happy hacking.
