Re: [orca-list] orca in manjaro?

[Majid Hussain <mhussaincov93 gmail com>]

hi all,
i'm not a fan of manjaro ever since they switched installers,
calamares is not accessible, I submitted an issue about the lack of
accessibility and I got a blow off I prefered there old installer it
was accessible at least,
do we know why systems installed using tarch are not accessible?
that is to say why orca does not speak on them?
