Re: [orca-list] solus linux



Not true, Dave. I ust ran through the Budgie installer and Mate and okay, they're finnicky but absolutely possible to install. All three use the same installer, though each version has their own quirks.

FWIW I'd say stick with Mate/Gnome as Budgie is transitioning to QT. Which is a shame as I really, really like Budgei as a desktop and an idea. That being said, Mate is snappy and fast and I'm all for more distros.


For the installer, it took tabbingg around to get it to work, and a quick google to get autologin working on Mate, but....the system is rock steady and worth it. Now, if I could get a few of the Ubuntu-specific addons working.....well I can but have to remember what the packages are....it's definitely doable.

I don't think they're s clueless as people think, all it takes is somebody to convince the Solus team and nod to little improvements. Mate's already there, and Gnome as well, nd with them basically transitioning their flagship to QT that's pushed acessibility down the list.

That being said, I'm wondering if it's possible to update Orca on Solus, I'll try in a VM a moment with my Mate install.

Solus is an independent distribution that comes in flavors for each of Gnome, Mate, and their flagship, Budgie desktops.  It is a rolling release, though not moving in sync with others like Arch.  Its target user is the home pc user for desktop, multimedia, etc.  Their official web presence is here.  See for yourself. 


In case you haven't kept up with all the discussion, All the live media are accessible. Only in the Gnome version, is the installer accessible. The community is largely unfamiliar with accessibility concerns, though Mate and Budgie live medkia...  It's probably not hopeless. 



HTH,
