I haven’t used Linux in a long time, but in general if you’re using the mate desktop, it works reasonably well provided you’re comfortable doing a lot of things via the command line.

Setting up a VM or loading an ISO of your preferred distribution onto a USB stick is fairly straight forward, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a go if you have the time. Hint: If booting from USB, run CMD as admin, type reagentc.exe /boottore, restart, enable narrator, select your USB stick or whatever storage device you’re using, and enjoy. This came in very handy when my sighted friend couldn’t figure out my computer’s BIOS and I didn’t want to have to deal with VMware Player.

Cane, IOS / Mac OS, and no Braille if I can help it. I can read far more quickly and efficiently with a screen reader.

It would be great if there was some sort of dedicated list of instances similar to what Lemmy already has. Of course the process of creating an instance could do with simplification as well. IMO the focus on keeping this instance up and running, as opposed to working on Kbin itself, could be hugely detrimental to the entire project in the longterm.

@noodle Technically he could take away the BOA’s independence if he truly wanted to, I believe Liz Truss threatened to do exactly that when they were fighting her tax plans, but the markets probably wouldn’t like it if he did. It’s weird to think that not so very long ago, politicians having complete control over interest rates was entirely normal.
