Hi again,
My biggest gripe with Gnome is the fact that the Settings is almost
impossible to use. For example, I use the Left-Hand Dvorak keyboard
because I only have a usable left hand. This is really easy to set in
Mate, but not in Gnome. I could never do so, no matter whos instructions
I followed.
I am willing to give Gnome a fair shot, if I can fix my Keyboard,
otherwise it's like trying to race against a Ferrari with a mountain
bike. My productivity is shot all to hell, and I refuse to do that to
myself.
Warm regards,
Brandt Steenkamp

Well, simpler is a subjective term. I prefer Gnome over Mate and I find Gnome to use a lot of the same concepts that I use on my Windows 10 desktop.

Hi,
I personally do not like vanilla Ubuntu, simply because the Gnome desktop does not make any sence to me at all. If it was me, and at one point, long, long ago, it was, I'd download Ubuntu Mate, simply because the desktop is a hell of a lot simpler to get use to, and also a lot more like the traditional Windows Desktop in the sence that you can, if you so wish, put all your crap on it, unlike Gnome.
Warm regards,

Well, it sounds like you're telling me to run linux under windows?
That isn't what I had in mind. Here's what I've learned thus far:
I need to download a linux OS; then make a bootable media and install
the linux ISO to it.
Well, I did that:
downloaded ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso and (for flashing it to
the thumb drive) balenaEtcher-Portable-1.7.3.exe made a bootable thumb
drive and installed ubuntu on it.
Now I need to learn how to install ubuntu from the thumb drive. I
must search for instructions to go on from here.
Thanks.

Ubuntu or Fedora could do that for you. alt-windows-s toggles speech
on and off and you want to choose try ubuntu or try fedora buttons on
the desktop screen. Desktop screen is windows-d once system boots
and you have speech.

Hello all,
I've been wanting to try out linux but haven't wanted to give up or
mess up any of my working windows systems. Would it be possible to
install some version of linux on a CD or a DVD; then just boot a
computer from that disk bypassing windows altogether? If so, I'd
have to make it either talk or drive a Braille display.
Wonder if anyone would have any suggestions? Thank you.
Howard
