To those saying "try it": I do, it's just not for me. I'm forced to use Wayland on my laptop, which sadly means I forced to use Gnome 3. Yes, the hate coincided with "lets make Gnome look like OSX instead of Windows". I do not care for natural sounding voices, my TTS is setup to max speed anyway so it will sound unnatural anyway.įrom what I read from the accessibility mailing list the situation is not as good for blind people, there are still issues that need solving and only volunteers are working on this area, but they will respond and try to fix bugs. no idea about GNOME Zoom, last time I was using Compiz with Gnome to get it.ģ KDE has an easy way to let you set font sizes for Qt and GTK apps, those GNOME assholes will never attempt to support Qt apps on their desktopĤ I use a deprecated KDE app called joview for text to speech, cool feature is it has a queue and I can put stuff in the queue and have it read it to me. >What are your recommendations for users with vision disability?ġ easy to setup global shortcuts, I can trigger my custom scripts just with a key press (so this is not a casual user feature)Ģ the Zoom Kwin plugin, I use this all the time, you can set what kebyoard shortcut you want (when I tested Windows 7 the Zoom feature keys are hard coded and you had to use 2 hands to zoom in and out and it had lag, so KDE Zoom is better then Windows (maybe recent windows improved.)). My machine feels like new and I can attest to a significant performance boost of GUI apps as the result of switching to Gnome. Well done Wayland, Gnome, GTK and every other project involved in making what's essentially the best Linux Desktop experience I've ever had.Īs for getting a new laptop, that idea went out the window fast. I haven't actually needed any Gnome Extensions so far. I can do everything I used to have on Compiz, here on Gnome and it's built-in. It's smooth, performant, beautiful and functional. To put it succinctly, it's MacOS interface for linux. Fast forward to yesterday when I was considering buying a new laptop to replace my ThinkPad x250 which is starting to show its age, I thought I give Gnome on Wayland another try. At around the same time, I did give Gnome 3 a spin and found a lot of clunky behavior and bugs. I've been using MATE+Compiz on Archlinux since 2015 because I was used to it and it had a lot of GUI features that I didn't find elsewhere.
