Re: [orca-list] jenux probably better alternative to manjaro talking

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

I went into the x86_64 directory of the suse tumbleweed disk and found
nothing of orca in that directory.  However I did find brltty along with
several supporting packages.  I tried brltty -s fl fv sd xs auto
and couldn't bring brltty speech up and I don't have a braille display
here so had no other options to try in this instance.  Maybe leap is
better out of the box but for sure tumbleweed is not as good any more.
