Re: [orca-list] Accessible Rolling Release Distro

    Hello Nimer,
    
    I know Samuel can fix issue on the Debian installer but he only
    fixes issue he is aware of.
    
    It is a really good idea for you to report him the issue on Debian
    accessibility mailing list to make it possible for you to install
    Debian.
    
    To be honest, I install Debian often but only with my Braille
    display and it works really great.
    
    Best regards.

Hello,

All of these command-line installers, Arch, etc, take much more effort to install than a simple gui installer, which is what I'm looking for. In recommending an individual to give Linux a try when they have been used to a platform such as Windows, there is quite a leap forward to installing something like Arch. While I am all on board with cli tools, it is a shame that the graphical user interface side of the various distros seems to be getting much less accessible. I stated that, in trying a number of these, the installers aren't accessible out of the box. The Debian testing installer won't work with Orca, I can't get Fedora rawhide talking, I haven't tried Solus, and as I say, I am really looking for a distro which provides a rolling release, although I have recently seen issues with users trying to install the latest iteration of Ubuntu, so it just seems that the latest installers from many distros simply aren't accessible. There is a pretty recent forum thread discussing the inaccessibility of OpenSuse and Yast, so that seems out as well. Really quite a shame, and would be great to get work on this, as it would be great to have GUI alternatives to Windows/Mac which simply work.
