State of Accessibility on Linux, 2026:

Users: Wayland broke accessibility.

Wayland: Not our problem, talk to the compositor.

KDE & Gnome: Expose what we need for accessibility, plz?

Wayland: Security risk. No.

Factorio dev: This compromise?

Wayland: Ok, fine...

Also Wayland: Actually, no.

User: *researches how to grow new eyeballs* It'll be solved faster.

"In this respect, the Debian and Kubuntu packages were really old"

Yeah, #Debian is nice and stable, but I usually prefer it to be more cutting edge too.

"The Wayland session is still a no-go for artists"

Yep, same. #Wayland feels like the better idea, but is still incomplete. I hope that will change soon.


Content warning: Linux GUI


#Waydroid is quite cool. It runs #Android in a #Linux #container and integrates Android apps into the Linux desktop, and it runs natively on #Wayland.


I use https://neo-layout.org/ on my keyboard. On #wayland it happens frequently that the Mod3 key is not respected, and I have no idea why. It sometimes takes 3-4 tries until I can type a ':' or other non-ascii characters, which is really annoying, especially when typing fast and developing software in #neovim. May be something specific to my configuration, haven't tried to reconstruct the issue on other machines yet. Currently on #debian unstable. Any ideas why that happens? #neolayout
