Oh no y'all, I'm really thinking about trying Linux on my Lenovo laptop again. Some one please convince me otherwise. Thinking of trying Stormux X86, which is an X86-64 version of Stormux, which is almost pure Arch but Stormux script helps set things up. I mean I use it at work just fine, and Firefox works well enough with Google Docs and Salesforce. And the ISO was updated on April 20. I38 is pretty darn nice, it's an accessibility addon to the I3 window manager, and Orca will have addon support soon.
I don't know why I do this to myself. I really, really don't.
@pixelate you do it because it's fun!

@storm Yeah but then I find something I can't do yet. Like use AI to describe the Retroarch window lol.

@andrew
Ubuntu is a solid choice if you want something that is standard and just works most of the time with no hassles, IMHO. There are lots of great Ubuntu forks, too.Personally I love Slackware, but it is a lot more work setting up and keeping it updated, etc. I just love tinkering with it.

@erici @pixelate @storm This discussion is in the context of the best distro for usage with a screen reader such as Orca. For blind folks it can be very hit and miss which distro has the best experience with Orca due to many reasons. I've been using Debian and more recently Ubuntu on servers for over 20 years.

@andrew @storm @erici Debian for rock stable but very outdated accessibility. Ubuntu for stable but slightly less outdated accessibility. Same for Linux Mint. Fedora for near bleeding edge accesibility. Arch for most updated but harder to set up. Stormux is based on Arch but has a setup script for setting up accessibility and such. So basically Fedora for easier setup and Arch for more advanced setup.
