Re: Best Distro for Blind

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello there,


Right now, I am using Fedora as my day to day Linux distro, and I'm doing everything from reading, writing, browsing the web, sending emails, and even school work without a glitch, I have been using Fedora for over a month now.

If you, how ever, want recommendations on distroes specifically made for the blind, I'd recommend Slint, and accessible Coconut, a distro based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, long tirm support.

Hope this helps.

Best regards.

Francisco.

Hello,


I am a totally blind person and a LONG time Windows/Jaws/NVDA user. I am wondering what would be a recommendation for the best distro/GUI environment to begin using?  I would love to be able to move away from Windows and use Linux full time for browsing, email, word processing and spreadsheets. I have a Thinkpad X220 that I can use for Linux. About 15 years ago, I played around with Venux, but that project seems to be dormant now. I have a Pi 3B+ running some ham radio software and I have to SSH into it occasionally and perform some command line stuff. For daily usage, I want a full GUI environment.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.


John
