Re: new 10.3 install, Gnome, screen reader starts talking then system appears to freeze, how can I troubleshoot?

[Alex ARNAUD <aarnaud@hypra.fr>]

    Hello Alan,
    
    I see two options to try to figure out your issue the easiest way:
    * To determine If it's a compatibility issue with your hardware
    could you please try to install Debian Testing ?
    * To check if it's a GNOME issues, could you please try to install
    Mate instead of GNOME ?
    
    Best regards,
    Alex.
