[NFBCS] Linux users

[Jack Heim]

I have been using linux and orca so long I cannot really tell you how it 
compares to jaws or nvda. I manage the research computing cluster for 
the Math Department at the University Of Wisconsin. I think in 2019 it 
is fair to say that all computational research is done on linux 
machines. I haven't checked for years but the last couple of times I 
checked, all 500 of the top 500 supercomputers were running linux. You 
have big problems if you are using a Windows desktop and a linux server. 
It is way easier just to switch to linux on your desktop. So I haven't 
used Windows for 20 years.


I have a Mac laptop so I can kind of compare orca and voiceOver. I am no 
Mac expert. But I would say orca and voiceOver are approximately equally 
good.

I have been using Linux for years but mostly through an SSH connection to a server instance on either AWS or a PI or designated server in my lab. My question is does any one have any feedback on using it stand alone with Orca or some other screen reader? If so plese share your experiences.
