No, because it is not the same code base, sorry I probably didn't make that 
clear. Its totally new Unity, based on Qt5, based on Mir, no X involved, no Gtk 
anywhere so far as I know, etc.

Re: Nautilus - can it be more keyboard friendly

[Christopher Chaltain]

Sorry, I'm not sure which menu item you're referring to.

Re: gnome shell versus mate

[Christopher Chaltain]

I prefer Gnome myself. I like the dash, being able to add items to my 
favorites and the top bar to get to settings and things. That being 
said, I run Mate on my netbook since the interface is simpler and a bit 
less CPU and memory intensive. Mate also has the same look and feel as 
the old Gnome 2 interface, so if you're used to that, then you might 
prefer Mate. I'd suggest installing Vinux 5 and playing with Gnome, Mate 
and Unity. Once you decide which you like, you can just stick with it or 
install that flavor of Ubuntu.

I feel like the OP's question is a bit different.

My understanding of these devices is that they become full(er) desktops 
when plugged in to external hardware. At this point, would existing 
desktop APIs take over and grant a desktop-like level of a11y, even if 
they don't work in touch mode?

It was recently stated on this list that no work has been done on any of
the Ubuntu touch components to implement accessibility. That still stands,
including these new converged devices.

As also previously stated on this list, there is no ETA on when that will
change. Again, that still stands.

At this point in time I suggest VInux 5. Vinux 5 comes with 3 desktop 
environments, Unity, GNOME Shell, and Mate.

BTW, you didn't reply to the list, but to me only, so replying to the list 
which is where I think you meant the post to go.

Re: linux and secure boot, u e f i

[Jude DaShiell]

Which is why a totally blind user need be present at sale and as a 
condition of sale see to it secure boot gets disabled before purchase 
and verify secure boot was disabled before purchase.

Subject: linux and secure boot, u e f i

If one gets a new computer these days, it could have windows 8 or 10.
If so, it would use u e f i, and secure boot would probably be enabled.
Might any form of linux work with this situation, or would secure boot need to 
be turned off?
My concern is that a totally blind user would not be able to turn this off.

Re: linux and secure boot, u e f i

[kendell clark]

hi Linux already works very well with UEFI, including sonar. Secure boot
is more complicated. We are supposed to be able to easily work with
secure boot by having a signed boot loader stub, which basically means a
boot loader signed with microsoft's key which will trick the firmware
into thinking it's booting windows, which will then load grub or
isolinux, which will then load linux. I don't know if this works because
I don't ahve any computers with secure boot enabled but both my desktop
I'm typing this on and my mac run uefi, although the mac runs an older
version called efi, which is uefi's predecessor. If this doesn't work,
I'd like to know about it so I can fix it.
Thanks
Kendell Clark
