Re: [orca-list] new user (for the most part) with a question

                Hey Eric, if I may, I'd suggest the Mate desktop for 
your Ubuntu needs honestly. Which desktops are you using currently? I 
noticed Unity but either didn't catch or you didn't say which one you 
use for Mint.

Also, agree on the v18 is better part, it runs like a dream once you get 
Gnome3 set up, though Mate/XFCE/etc all run perfectly well on older 
machines. I'd argue if anything 18.X has done a lot to get people 
interested, despite a rocky launch for their main Ubuntu branch and the 
issues leading up to 18's launch.


Eric, word of advice about Orca. Don't be afraid to play around in learn 
mode. Don't be afraid to do an orca --replace from time to time, either.
