Hi, I installed Fedora Mate Compiz 35 just fine. Also, as I said, Trisquel also installed on this system without complaining at all. I honestly don't know if I have the fortitude to try my hand at a Jentoo install, yet, I can sometimes get Arch to install, but that's still hit and miss.

It should install just fine. Devuan is debian without SystemD (the initialization system and services manager found in most modern distros except Slint). What branch of Fedora did you get, that's free software-only? the standard release has the non-free kernel blobs for things like the non-free Intel wifi radio. > > > Since we're talking about the accessibility of various distros, what of Void and Jentoo? The installer for Void isn't accessible, but a friend managed to bootstrap it and now he packages for it. I think there are some folk, listening, who may chime in about the accessibility, but steep learning curve, of their favorite, Jentoo. In case it means anything, Jentoo has a "ports tree", like the BSD. Basically, you build most of the system from sources. > > > Cheers, > > > > Dave H. > > > > On 2/16/22 04:41, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: >> Is it, like Debian, only free software, or do they also provide a non-free Iso? > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
