Seeing a lot of GNOME drama about accessibility lately that isn’t making much sense to me.
If you use a screen reader, why wouldn’t you also just use X11? You’re already using a non-default tool, so a non-default window system seems like not really a burden. If they were going to remove X11 in favor of Wayland I’d obviously 100% agree it’s bad, but they aren’t (until screen readers work), so… what’s the deal?
Someone smarter pls explain 🙏
