I just want to say in this thread that I'm fairly new to Slint and have
found the support very good.?? I appreciate it.
I'm not disparaging other distros, by the way.?? I've used Arch, Debian,
and Fedora for fairly long periods.

Hi Micha??l,
let me answer to this part of your last message:

On the other side, Slint is Slackware based, out of the 5 majors
distributions bases, it's one of the two far less used so the user have
barely no community to help him in case of issues.
Really?
For Slackware proper, there is this a very active forum:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/
For Slint specifically we recently replaced the former mailing list by a
new one, cf. this blog post:
https://slint.fr/blog/welcome-to-the-new-slint-mailing-list.html
It is very friendly and active, you can check looking at the archives
for the current month: https://www.freelists.org/archive/slint/02-2020
We have now also a mumble channel dedicated to Slint.
So your statement "no community to help in case of issues" is not true.
The Slint mailing list is even more active than the debian-accessibility
mailing list that I also follow <smile>.
I don't say that to despise Debian which indeed is a good distribution,
and Debian contributors like Samuel do an outstanding job.
As an aside indeed Slint ships Mate with mate-tweak and Compiz, and
documents how to get the best of it:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/doc/Accessibility/CompizKeyBindings
Slint also allows to switch between console mode and a desktop without
loosing speech out of the box, which you can do with other distributions
only with a not obvious post-install manual configuration.
That's not to say Slint is perfect, it certainly isn't. But we all ears
to bug reports and requests for help and enhancements.
Best regards,
Didier Spaier
