The state of Linux accessibility in 2025. This started out as a rant but became a series.

@fireborn I saw your blog post passing by in another toot, and wrote a mini-thread of three toots about it: https://exquisite.social/@labellaragassa/114488143878385178
I work in website accessiiblity and I am very sorry desktop accessibility on Linux is failing people with a disability. Are there distro's that do better as Ubuntu, or are they all bad?
And have you tried any of the BSD's?
@labellaragassa there are some that do better.Fedora has an accessible installer now in v42, which is great. Love that, but it doesn't configure sound across multiple vts or anything so if something breaks in updates (it does) you're stuck.Arch gets out of your way and if something breaks, you built the system so probably know what or at least the wikki will have something that will at least point you in the right direction.Gentoo can be installed from any other live environment, and well… same thing as Arch. You built it, you probably broke it.
