My Accessibility Stack and the Future on Wayland(nocoffei.com) |
As far as I can tell from following various people on Mastodon, reading blogs like this etc, is that it really falls short.
And it hurts to see more cool and interesting accessibility technologies become unusable and unsupported because people are chasing "shiny" and "modern".
Good accessibility support is long, hard, and boring work, so without someone putting money behind it, it tends to be omitted. And as far as I'm aware, there's unfortunately nobody funding accessibility on Linux to the extend that Microsoft and Apple are for their respective OSes.
You're not allowed to do anything on Linux unless Gnome people like it.
For reasons like these, operating systems like Windows XP or 7 are still necessary for many accessibility related needs.
