I also have Debian installed on a Asus 701 (Debian 7, not Debian 11), console only installation. I don't think you will be able to install Mate, but if you are able it will be extremely slow if you are using ORCA.

Hello John, Nice to meet you there :-). As I've told you, yes, I think Mate is more accessible. I can also help you on Mate because I use it myself. The correct way to obtain answer to your question is: * Open one thread for one problem * Don't ask general question like it doesn't work, no

Hello, I have just subscribed to this list. I have Buster. Recently I installed Gnome with Orca. I use Braille only, since I am deaf-blind. However, I have been having a lot of difficulty. Now I am told that Mate is more accessible than Gnome, especially for Braille. What do you think? Thanks
