... [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

So, as far as I know, for blind/low-vision on linux, aiming for AT-SPI [Orca] support is generally the best option still for graphical programs; Does that standard also work for ?
Is there some other (open, free oftware) standard to aim for that is more universal among the FOSS OSes (for graphical, installed and run locally) programs?

                I've made more progress with getting running and mostly usable on my Thinkpad T580. I started a document with my notes on how to set up a usable desktop. Some of this information is missing from the NetBSD Guide, Wiki, and FAQ & HOWTOs pages. Some of it was buried deep in man pages, or found by extensively searching pkgsrc repository. codeberg.org/thezerobit/public

                    Tip for those who cannot get MTP working with their LNX or BSD computo - you can connect to android mobilek in unix-y way.
                    1. Install https://f-droid.org/packages/org.primftpd/ on your android mobilek.
                    2. Run s-/ftp server on your mobilek.
                    3. Connect from computo to mobilek by ftp or sftp command.
                    4. No root needed.

                    Works for me on OpenBSD. You can also use KDE Connect.

                                                It does not have (for obvious reasons). Most lists of clones miss that there are several forks of Bostic , not least the two forks that are in and base. Similarly, has forked nvi2.

                                                              Also: one more Linux kernel update or zero day and I will seriously consider moving to or for good...

                                                                I managed to get up and running using the NetBSD Guide (disabling XDM helped). Tip: `pkgin install xfce4-extras` to get some useful panel widgets. Also, I managed to configure an additional Wi-fi network successfully (the coffee shop I am at right now). I installed Firefox 128. They have newer versions in the repository, but I wanted a slightly old version with less bullshit.
