So you just… didn’t see it? Ba-dum-tss. Hehe.

I might cross post there later.

Hahaha. I find that kinda thing incredibly fun. I once had to fix my soft-bricked Android phone in a hotel in a foreign country with no other connected devices around. That’ll teach me to run nightly builds!

That sounds awesome!

I know they do, the app accessibility support is just unacceptably bad. Orca is also known for crashing - not that hardcore Linux users aren’t used to losing their interface all of a sudden, hehe.

“Steam play?” This sounds like something I should know about. And what would you otherwise, generally, say is a good distro? One that plays well with KDE, if I’m reading the room correctly.

Oh, I really should have mentioned I’ve used Linux a fair bit, including desktop. Just not in a few years and never for gaming.

Is ray tracing hit or miss or would it be best to forget about it?

Good to know. Yeah, I wouldn’t even entertain this idea if I needed a screen reader full time.

Ubuntu is actually particularly terrible: Snap packages (general controversy aside) theme the cursor, so my mouse kinda disappears into them. It’s nice to know people are making alternative magnifiers though - that one doesn’t work for me because I need full screen zoom, but it may be handy for others.

Thanks for reminding me of ProtonDB, that’ll be a good tool to evaluate this possible move.

As an r/blind mod and RBlind.com adminI am, in fact, aware of it. Hehehe.

Seriously though, the blind community Linux desktop install base is small and virtually nonexistent for gaming, and I have very simple accessibility requirements, so I figured I’d get better feedback here.

It’s great to know there’s some awareness of the instance around the broader Fediverse!

Good stuff. Mechanical and organic maintenance are great!

[–] MostlyBlindGamer@rblind.com 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oof, wow! Well, I hope they serve you well.

Nice! Are you replacing or upgrading?
