Re: [orca-list] Accessible Rolling Release Distro

Hi Didier.

I completely agree with you. Therefore, for users who would like to try 
Linux, I always recommend Ubuntu-MATE. I usually recommend OEM_Pack-MATE 
from the Ukrainian company UALinux to users from Ukraine.
There is currently a problem with the installer, but this problem does 
not apply to those who use EFI.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1874283

I hope that this bug for Ubuntu 20.10 will be fixed (or even already 
fixed). I have a positive experience working with both members of the 
Ubuntu-MATE community and Ubuntu developers, so I know for sure that 
they are fixing bugs.
Updates to Ubuntu usually do not spoil anything. But you need to update 
the distribution to the latest version some time after the release.
By the way: Fedora also usually updates without problems. But upgrading 
to beta can sometimes break something ...
If the user wants to receive newer versions of the software, I recommend 
keeping a certain balance. For example, a user can add third-party 
repositories, build something for themselves from source, and so on. 
This is not difficult because there are many publications on the 
Internet about Ubuntu that can be useful to blind users.
