Thread: About Windows 11's high system requirements. You know, a lot of blind people, who don't have jobs, live on social security and disability money, and who definitely don't have the newest computers, won't get Windows 11. This could have been a great chance for Linux to step up and say loud and proud "Because we support every person's ability to choose their system, and use and learn about computers, we will never force upon users what system they must run. And because we stand proudly with people with disabilities, all blind people are welcome in the world of free and open source software, where they can learn and create just like everyone else." But no. Gnome, one of the most popular desktops on Linux, is trash with accessibility. KDE is working on it, but that'll take years. Who's ever heard of Mate? And who makes current software for the command line, for users and not other developers?
You are right, I somehow assumed blind persons would primarily use something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display
But in fact is seems text to speech audio interfaces are also common as explained here: https://accessibe.com/blog/knowledgebase/what-are-screen-readers-and-how-they-enable-blind-people-to-surf-the-internet
