You know, I'm gonna step back from Linux again after this, but I garuntee that if Fedora or another high profile distro decided to not ship the Gnome desktop for accessibility reasons, or even just put on their site that the Gnome spin may not work well for some disabled people, the Gnome team would go from "Well we just don't have time to work on a11y and we don't have enough man power for it. How dare you call us ableist!" to "Hey so we're working on Gnome 45 and we've set aside time to work on our accessibility stack. Can disabled people try it out? We're reaching out to the Orca mailing list, the audiogames forum, and several Reddit communities for other disabled communities to gather feedback." Meanwhile KDE would go "Yep, and here's our plan to fix it and we've already got a developer working on things. Thanks for pointing out our issues." Yes, this is a rant. Yes, I'm tired of even thinking about this crap. Yes, I forgot to take my anti-depressant today, and... yesterday, but I've rectified that. :)
