Hello Shadyar,
as for the Orca slowness, aren't you running the system in a VM or
from
a linux DVD?
This sounds to me like what I was experiencing when doing the above
mentioned, those slowdowns were happening independently of
operating
system run in the VM.
Also, you might want to check out the responsiveness of your
keyboard.
Try for example to pause and resume playback of music in VLC, if
you
notice the Orca-like latency, you have problem there.
Some distributions have an option to slower the keyboard
responsivity,
don't ask me why. :) If you have activated it somehow, that might
be
causing troubles.
And one more thing. Some soundcards have a tendency to fall asleep
when
no sound is playing. This may not sound like a big thing, but it
can
really slow down the whole responsiveness, in some cases even make
it
unusable.
One my friend was complaining some time ago, that Jaws on his
Windows
machine is very slow. I have installed Silenzio and voila,
everything
was magically working!
Try to play some music or other continuous sound in the background
to
keep your soundcard busy and try the responsiveness again.
If it improves, we can discuss further in this direction to find
the
most appropriate solution.
If nothing of this resolves your issue, and there won't be any
ideas
from others on this list, you can, as the last resorrt try to
reinstall
the system.
Latency is definitely not something typical for Linux, in fact,
it's the
exact opposite and that goes for Orca as well. On my computer, it's
ligthning fast.
As for the Linux environment and its descriptions, well, this is
somewhat complicated. From Windows, you're probably used to having
just
one layout, one desktop, one default software setup, dictated by
the
all-mighty company behind the system, which doesn't allow anyone to
interfere with its orders.
Linux is different. There is no general authority, no closed
components
owned by companies or individuals and no dogmas the system would
have to
follow.
Therefore, there is nothing like a single Linux environment. We
have
many different environments like Mate, Gnome, Mint, Plasma or LXDE
and
every of them has different interface.
In fact, the differences go even deeper, to the core of the system
- we
have many Linux distributions, like Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora or
OpenSUSE, taking different approaches on how should the system look
like
"under the hood".
So, as you can see,there is nothing like a single Linux or Linux
environment, and therefore nothing like a single guide and single
set of
shortcuts to learn, everything depends on your exact system
construction.
Having that said, it's usually not very difficult to find the
relevant
instructions, just search for your favourite distribution and
check,
what layout it uses and what shortcuts are set by default.
If you want to help others joining Linux by guides, you have the
advantage that you can pick a specific setup and guide the readers
on
how to use it, so that's of course a way to go.
Best regards

I mean, it responds late, not reads slow.
Is there a method to optimize the speed of Orca response?
I am using Ubuntu latest LTS version with Mate desktop.
I intend to contribute in Orca project but firstable I should
know its
abilities I.E. what it can do and what not so.
I believe that Orca user guide wiki needs more details to use
Orca and
a description about itself Linux environment.
Blinds users some times might not have any imagine of Linux
environment, specially if they used to be Windows users.
eg. I myself did not know Gnome has two bars in top and bottom -
panels not like OS windows that has one bar - task bar also I did
not
know word panel is the same bar in windows. and ETC.
If I have a good command of the using Orca, I will write my
experiences to help new users specially users who immigrated from
Windows.
