Re: [orca-list] initial thoughts after installing plasma 5.26 beta

[Guy Schlosser <guyster bex net>]

Howdy, Chrys. Navigating the panel and plasma does work quite nicely. Question though you mentioned OCR 
desktop. Are there directions for installing that in ubuntu? I see them as well as packages for arch, but 
that’s it. Any help would be greatly appreciated on getting that going on Ubuntu 22.04.

Thanks,

Guy
