To think I was recommending System76 to people. Won’t be making that mistake again.
Apparently caring about accessibility is “virtue signaling” and “concern trolling”.
Well, I know exactly the kind of people who use those terms and they’re not folks I want to have anything to do with or will be recommending to anyone else in the future.
If you’re not in the US, you should buy from a local shop anyway. In the EU, we’re spoilt for choice with Tuxedo, Slimbook, StarLabs, etc.
@aral I'm not sure I follow. I saw the "argument", and I don't see why it happened in the first place.
Also, in the US, what does that leave you with? Just @frameworkcomputer That's not a lot of options. I can't use ISO keyboards, so that severely limits my options, given many Windows laptops don't work very well with Linux. There's always something, like RGB being broken, speakers not working, or something else. I went through four laptops and returned them all before I got Framework.
@aral @frameworkcomputer I mean, Orca has been half broken since GNOME 3 and the introduction of GNOME Shell. I wish there were more efforts on a KDE/Qt project that was similar, but at least here, I can't even find anybody willing to work on this for a cash bounty, and I lack experience in this field, so I don't know how much use I could be in something like this...
I mean, you both are right in a way. Accessibility in Linux needs to be better. (1)
@aral But without supporting the few devs left and getting more involved, it will never happen. We need to do a better job of supporting FOSS developers who actually support FOSS and accessibility wholeheartedly.
Again, I cannot speak much more than that because I'm not physically disabled like being blind, deaf, or having motor difficulties, but we really need to do better and support FOSS accessbility. (2)
