kind words to Debian accessibility developers
Dear specialists,
Please receive my deepest possible appreciation related to Debian 10
stability and accessibility.
You have made really many many complex job and you have made stable,
robust and fully accessible operating system. You have tuned all
necessary parts so operating system is really usable, stable and do not
suffer because of accessibility issues.
Debian net installer is outstanding. It is reliable and stable and
numbers as A choice is excellent decision.
It is very easy to install The operating system on various systems. It
is much more faster than using GUI related installers, because
comboboxes and making choices related to disk partitioning would be
always much more slower than while using number as choices.
I would like to warn all Debian users, who are installing operating
systems to external USB bootable media on MBR compatible systems.
Always specify target USB bootable device manually by using its name.
You will get name of USB bootable device from The disk partitioning
installer messages.
In other case, system will not boot correctly.
This issue do not exist when you want to install Debian to UEFI
compatible systems. Installer will even do not ask you how to install
GRUB and everything is preconfigured.
It is not error, it is rather little advice which you can use to install
Debian on The external USB bootable media without problems.
So very very well done. Stable kernel, stable system and very accessible
environments.
The future would be to allow users to install multiple GTK compatible
desktop environments but I know, that switching between desktops is
challenge and it can lead to issues.
Session-manager is able to switch between several desktop environments.
But to be hones. The most accessible are Gnome and Mate.
Mate is faster and memory friendly, because many parts of its code is
written in C not in Python.
And C developers of Mate are doing their best to make their code memory
optimized and stable.
Caja is very user friendly while browsing long folders with Orca and its
speed and stability is rapidly growing up.
Sure, user can also use LXDE. Its menu is very probably The fastest one,
because whole environment is very probably The lowest memory allocation
environment compatible with Orca.
But Thunar is not very friendly when default desktop view have been chosen.
Orca do not speak too much on desktop. So The solution would be to
combine Caja with LXDE and by replacing Thunar for desktop management
and displaing items on desktop.
