Emacspeak discussion list

I think it makes little difference. Currently (past 3-4 years) I've been running  Fedora as my core system. Prior to that, it was Ubuntu for about 10 years, prior to that Debian for 7-8 years, prior to that Red Hat for around  10 years and prior to that, slackware.

Really, the only difference is with package managers and whether they have a slow or rolling release cycle. Both apt and dnf are good package managers. Ubuntu use to be good, but these days, I find Fedora is more inline with current development i.e. full systemd, pipewire and pushing wayland. Ubuntu IMO has become more fractured with desktop environments that are 'fractured' e.g. theri Gnome is not current upstream Gnome, but a mix of old and new versions which THEY believe is more stable. Likewise, both Ubuntu and Debian did only partial systemd implementations originally.

Despite all of the above, these days, I find distros largely uninteresting and will use whatever. I am even less inclined to build my own Emacs and instead just use the version which comes with whatever distro I"m using. I use a minimal environment e.g. i3 on X11 and hyprland on Wayland and primarily use tiling window managers as they tend to be the best for keyboard driven wsorkflows. I tend to avoid the mouse as it is slow and too hard to use effectively when you can't easily see the mouse cursor. Tiling window managers let me run everything using the keyboard. I use to run stumpwm, but moved away from that as things move towards wayland and away from X11.

Hi,
What distribution do you prefer to run Emacspeak in?
What do you use for your personal work station aka daily driver?
