Hi all. I've got an older #computer running #Windows10, and I'm thinking about putting #Linux on it since I've always wanted to try it out and think this computer might run better with Linux. I read a topic on audiogames.net about Linux #accessibility, and I saw a few recommendations for #distros to try out. To any #blind Linux users, is #NixOS a good one for a beginner, or should I try #LinuxMint or #Ubuntu? Also, what's the best way to install Linux and replace #Windows? Thanks.

@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @accessibility @main I have no experience myself of considering accessibility on the operating system. I run Linux Mint (I run LMDE version, but I would recommend the standard version, if you go for Mint). As I recall, elementary OS has focused on being good re accessibility, but again I really do not know myself. What do you say, @danirabbit ?

@hehemrin @RareBird_15 @mastoblind @accessibility @main If you are completely blind, I think it will be a bit of a struggle at the moment. We’re doing our best to improve but I think the current reality is that there would be tasks that can’t be completed without some level of vision. Sorry :(
