Yes, Orca exists but it is utterly broken when used with Wayland due to higher security standards in Wayland and it looks like it will stay broken for some time.

And with more and more distributions using Wayland as the main display server it is a really bad time for accessibility on Linux.

So in this regard, visually impaired or blind people have no choice but to stay away from Linux.

@DarkMetatron @aral yup, this is the "any port in a storm" part.

I would never recommend desktop Linux to a blind person.

But if you're blind and you somehow get stuck on desktop Linux (i.e. borrowing a computer, helping a friend), it's good to know it's there.
