Anything besides vanilla Arch?

Anything besides vanilla Arch?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi there,

 

I have been running Ubuntu and Ubuntu spins for a while now and am looking
for something else for a change. I have installed vanilla Arch before, but
that was when my system was only running Linux. Due to the work I do, NVDA
certified expert, Training and tech support, et al, I have to have a Windows
instance to boot in to. I am not comfortable installing vanilla Arch on here
at this time.

 

Are there any Arch based distros we can actually install without sited help?

 

Warm regards/Groetnis/herzliche Grüße,

 

Brandt Steenkamp

Stormux (https://stormux.org) is an Arch-based system that runs on the Raspberry Pi 3 or 4.

Considering the OP mentioned Windows, I'm assuming they're in the
market for x86 distros.

Sadly, I'm pretty ignorant of Arch and its derivatives, and perhaps
you think Debian is too close to Ubuntu with Ubuntu being a Debian
derivative, but if you're willing to go a bit further abroad, the
Slackware-based Slint boasts excellent out of the box blind
accessibility, though I haven't tried it myself.

I have Jenux installed and you get a choice of gnome mate kde or base
type installs with that distribution.  Oh, I forgot there's also a
couple android distributions it will do for you too if desired.  The
android installs have talkback for a screen reader.

Re: Anything besides vanilla Arch?

Hi again,


Unfortunately at this time I have no time to play around with single 
board computers. Stormux is a great idea, just not for me at this time.


I might give Jenux a go though. At least I know where my stuff should be 
installed, I hope.


Warm regards,


Brandt Steenkamp

Re: Anything besides vanilla Arch?

If Jenux wasn't talking, I couldn't install it since I never had enough
funds for a braille display and don't have sighted assistance with the
exception of be my eyes.

Re: Anything besides vanilla Arch?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Brandt,

There was a project (now discontibued, I think) called TalkingArch,
initially maintained by Chris Brannon then by Ky	le, cf.:
https://talkingarch.tk/about.php

It has two "successors":

1. Tarch, maintained by Deedra Waters and Michael Taboada:
https://tarch.org/ endorsed by the past maintainers.

2. TakingArch or talking-arch maintained by Alexander Epaneshnikov, cf.:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TalkingArch
https://github.com/alex19EP/talking-arch

I can't compare these two projects but assume that both are worth a try.

Cheers,
Didier

Interesting,

Ubuntu 20.04 and it's spins pick up my WiFi card fine, but Jenux, not so 
much.

Ubuntu Mate 20.04 is on curnel version 5.4.0. What is the Curnel version
