This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?

This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.

@aral I'm still confused as to why Wayland even exists.

The entire rational for it being created, as far as I can tell, is "because it's not X."

Yeah X11/Xorg is complicated. But every single bit of complication was put there to make some feature or set of hardware work. And it all works well...

@aaron @aral Note that Wayland is developed by the same organization of people. Think of it as the next version of Xorg, if that helps.
