Re: [orca-list] favorite linux distros.




Wow I was not aware that we can even have Gnome 3.12 or 3.14 in Ubuntu 14.04?
Can you tell me how you did it?
Happy hacking.

Forgot to mention what I use in my prior response:

I use Ubuntu 14.04 but with the gnome3 and Vinx PPA's enabled for the latest gnome and accessibilty experience. I don't use Unity. I use Gnome Shell 3.12 with Orca 3.14. It works quite nicely. Once you get used to it, you will find other desktops not as efficient or easy to use at times. For instance, I tried the Gnome-classic interface the oter day just to see if I still remembered how to use it and I absolutely hated it. Using an applications menu to find what you want and then having your system cluttered up with a desktop window is so last decade. In shell, you hit the super key, type the name of what you want to launch and boom!, it finds it for you and you just hit enter and there you go. Grab the gnome-tweaks package, enable the places menu in the top bar, get a prefered sound theme and you're all set.

Hello.
I'm wondering, What linux distros do people like and why?
I'd like to use the unity version of ubuntu 14.04 or 14.10 but apparently nobody knows when or even if we can expect a fix for the dash bug. I've used vinux 4.0 and like it for the most part but it is a little dated for me. I'd like to use vinux 5 but don't want a pre release version of any distro on that box. This brings me to the question of what else is out there? preferably something based on the ubuntu / debian archetecture. I'd like something that can run the latest versions of orca and firefox because i've found that the browsing experience is a little lacking on vinux.


Thoughts?
