I switched to macOS pretty for all my day-to-day, development and work uses, but still have a Ryzem+RTX (I do use Ray tracing features) desktop that I only ever use for gaming anymore.

I play games from Steam, GoG, Epic, and occasionally Xbox Game Pass.

The big problem here is I’m visually impaired and need a desktop environment that will let me consistently use a lime green mouse cursor and zoom in full screen via keyboard and scroll shortcuts.

At the risk of 1) nobody having actual experience and 2) the current Linux distro/DE ecosystem being hopelessly broken, what should I try?

I also only have some 2 hours a week for videogames. I can’t afford the time to tinker, after the transition and setup period.

I’m perfectly happy with “you’re outta luck, buddy, just suffer through Windows,” but I figure it can’t hurt to ask…

    As an r/blind mod and RBlind.com adminI am, in fact, aware of it. Hehehe.

    Seriously though, the blind community Linux desktop install base is small and virtually nonexistent for gaming, and I have very simple accessibility requirements, so I figured I’d get better feedback here.

    It’s great to know there’s some awareness of the instance around the broader Fediverse!

      I’m dumb, your account is on that instance 😆

      I think here is a good place to ask as well, just wanted to make sure you were aware of that community in case it was helpful.

        So you just… didn’t see it? Ba-dum-tss. Hehe.

        I might cross post there later.
