Re: [orca-list] Dualbooting Linux and Windows

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

This.

Quickemu, with qemu and ekd2-ovmf and Quickemu's built in Win10/Win11 support will do all that you need while 
making sure MS doesn't ruin your bootloader setup...

However I'm unsure how Debian works with an NVME SSD. On my Arch box, I've no issues with Orca working with 
quickemu thoughh, or the a11y stuff (thanks Strychnine for that)

The issue with Debian is I'm not sure how far behind the latest packages as of writing Debian 11 is, and how 
much messing around you'll need for updated packages though, someone way more experienced with Debian can 
answer that one. I'm looking at it from an Arch perspective though and I've got my box set up to work best 
for me so I'm unsure how far behind Debian is with things like Orca/espeak/brltty/desktops (seee the recent 
chatter on here about Gnome 42 for instance) and so on.
