The preference of one desktop over another is usually based primarily on personal preference, even non-visual. Just as an example, I prefer the MATE interface, its menu systems and panels and its desktop icons for mounts and such by default over GNOME's blank look and having to enable icons through the tweaks tool. Others prefer the way one desktop handles sound theming and other more advanced things than another does. Still others don't want a full desktop at all, preferring a simple window manager and an accessible launcher or menu instead, e.g. Ratpoison+Strychnine and I3+i38. Accessibility is certainly the biggest consideration here. As of now, the KDE Plasma desktop still has some pretty nasty bugs that made it somewhat less than usable for me when I tried it a couple of months ago. But since accessibility, primarily as it relates to the Orca screen reader, is at the top of the list on their I believe 3-year plan, we can expect to see some major improvements in the near future. ~Kyle To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to blinux-list+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxx.
