It really sucks because there are users who practically must use Windows. People with disabilities aren't considered within FOSS, so are left out in Microsoft's cold embrace. Luckily there's WSL, and I use that quite a bit with Emacs and Emacspeak. But it's nothing like having a full Linux OS with no ads using up CPU cycles and RAM. I can't even see the ads.
- plaguepilled 3y agoI agree accessibility is more ergonomic in Windows, but accessibility concerns aren't universally ignored in FOSS. GNOME and KDE both have accessibility projects which have existed for a little while now. Is it as polished? I would say no. But if there are shortcomings that impact you, the best way to help is to suggest changes, or write up a pull request yourself (if you are able to with the existing tooling that is).
