Speaking as a Linux desktop dev, that one's right. We have a lot of homework left to do, and accessibility is an area both Windows and MacOS are more fully-featured and mature in.

Part of treating users really well is also being honest about our shortcomings (and fixing them).

Hard agree. I work in digital accessibility, use Macs and Linux at home and work. It's unfortunate, but Linux is a long distance from how accessible Windows is. It's improving, but there's a ways to go.

I don't think there is anything more accessible than lines of text in a grid. Maybe you don't need to make every button of every GUI program ever accessible.

    I doubt a blind or very nearsighted user would appreciate your lines of text in a grid very much.

      So using a screen reader with a terminal is somehow worse than using a screen reader on a cluttered gui?
