Re: [orca-list] Semi-OT: What would be the best distribution for an old netbook, please?

[Maksym Bilak <bmiv ukr net>]

Hello.

In my opinion - Ubuntu-MATE is the best distribution to date for those 
users who would like the simplest solution. Personally, I use the 
Ubuntu-OEM_Pack-MATE distribution from the Ukrainian company UALinux, 
because it contains the best set of software for me.
In general - you need to choose the distribution on your own, without 
relying on someone s opinion. I can assert one hundred percent: at the 
moment, MATE is the most accessible desktop environment for the blind. 
Also, MATE consumes fewer resources, unlike, for example, the desktop 
environment of GNOME. On my computer, MATE consumes less than one 
gigabyte of RAM so I think that on your netbook MATE will work fine.
