Re: Two Arch beginner questions

Personally, I use startx for starting things and have it set up to auto launch the graphical session (which you can find how to do on the Arch wiki and is harmless)


Secondly, no, espeakup and Fennrir work on the TTY mostly. You /can/ have Fenrir work on a terminal but I have little experience with this.


There's two sorts of console in Linux


One, you have your TTY, or actual console


2. You have a terminal which is a mini console in the graphical interface, such as Mate-terminal


On a graphical interface like Mate, you use Orca for a screenreader, it covers using a terminal out of the box so you are sorted there

Hi,

today I installed Arch Linux for the first time. Now I have fully setup the console and now, it is time for graphical interface. I will use Mate desktop. I know how to install it, but I have a question related to display manager. Can you recommend me some display manager for Mate desktop, which is packaged for Arch and configured for a11Y (start Orca in the manager)

And my second question is related to console screen readers. Espeakup and Fenrir are included. Which of these is better for using console apps, such as email clients, web browsers etc? Is espeakup developed or deprecated?

Thanks,

Pavel
