Hi,


I use Ubuntu 19.04 full-time, and have not had a negative experience 
with it. Gnome 3 can cause problems for Orca, but it is more in the 
realm of accessibility and the "modern" way the Gnome group created the 
desktop. It lacks in ux, but the a11y aspect is ok. I use Mate desktop. 
Other than a few notification icons like bluetooth and dropbox, 
everything is completely usable on the desktop.

I I am not sure but I think Gnome Desktop 3 is what is said to have began the problems with Orca and accessibility. I have not read enough to verify any of that.
