Re: [orca-list] Accessible Rolling Release Distro

[Alex ARNAUD <aarnaud hypra fr>]

    Hello Nimer,
    
    Which Debian ISO do you have tried to install Debian?
    
    The only ISO not working to install Debian is the live cd, otherwise
    the "normal" installer of Debian based on menu should be accessible.
    The process is to boot the Debian iso, press the s key and press
    enter to use it with speech.
    
    To use the Debian installer with Braille, you just have to plug your
    Braille device after booting on the Debian installer then press
    enter.
    
    If there is any mistake, feel free to ask any questions here or
    preferably on the Debian
      accessibility mailing list because people behind the Debian
    installer are mostly over there.
    
    Best regards.

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.
