Gregarious<p>Experimented yesterday with Fedora’s KDE spin… I was shocked by the level of accessibility, although it wasn’t perfect. My primary issues with it were that I had to use a lot of Orca’s navigation commands to read panels in the systems settings app, and I had major issues with Konsole, the default terminal app. I wasn’t able to read any of the information in that particular apps interface using Orca. I also tried the Fedora workstation edition, which uses Gnome as it’s a desktop environment. Let’s just say that was not worth my time. Had accessibility issues there as well, and surprisingly it was worse than the experience I had with KDE. I know KDE defaults to Wayland, as does Gnome, but KDE’s accessibility implementation seems to be a lot better than what Gnome has under Wayland, with the exceptions I’ve previously mentioned. Incidentally, the X 11 experience with Gnome is actually worse now than it was previously. For example, the terminal app does not even open for me. I should also note that all this is under Fedora 41, so people aren’t confused. <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/A11Y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>A11Y</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Experiments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Experiments</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Fedora41" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora41</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/KDePlasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDePlasma</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wayland</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a></p>
