I partially agree with this, but would firmly add that there is
no black and white.
Firstly different people have different requirements and for
those who wish to use spreadsheets, surf the internet, write
emails and a few more things including audacity usage, Orca is
just fine.
Some people have such requirements that unfortunately the
software on linux for that purpose is inaccessable (as a
professional I don't have such a situation ).
Even more precisely some people have different requirements from
a single program.
Depending on features that are accessible or not, the person may
decided to use Linux or not use it or partially use it.
So all in all for basic to intermediate usage Linux is absolutely
fine.
happy hacking.

Hi,
I believe that I have found more programs in Linux that don't
work well with Orca, than I have using Jaws or NVDA in Windows.
I have always felt that if Orca worked as well as Jaws, I'd
go Linux and never look back.
There no doubt a few reverse cases, such as the radio
programming software called Chirp.
It works fabulously in Linux with Orca, but it is very
difficult in Windows, such that some would call it inaccessible
in Windows, although I have muddled through it using the Jaws
cursor.
HTH.

Hi,
How does Ubuntu/Fedora accessibility compare to Windows 10 and
JAWS/NVDA? Do
not consider monitary cost.
