    More importantly to me, can blind users even install the OS.

    All current mainstream distros now use Wayland, which has broken screen reading, so the OS cannot be installed.

        Honestly, it’s not as important. These projects are working with very limited resources, typically dependent on free labour. Accessibility is incredibly hard to get right and half arsing it isn’t going to work. The priority should be pushing out a reliable, working prototype that people want to use. Once that’s accomplished you can refocus on expanding the features.

        Demand for reliable multi monitor support is going to be far higher than screen reading capabilities.
