Okay y'all, I can officially say that Fedora 40 Workstation is inaccessible. After you install the OS, the first start window opens, allowing you to choose a network. I cannot move around in this window. I cannot use Orca commands in this window. Alt + Tab only leads me back to that window. Control + Tab, F6, F10, Super + F10, do nothing.
Linux evangelists may say "Well there are different spins, dude! Use the Mate one, dude!" That's not the point. What do people see when they go to download Fedora? Do they see Mate first? KDE first? No. They see the Fedora 40 Workstation, using the Gnome desktop. Their flagship is not accessible. I cannot say that I'm surprised. I might try the KDE spin next. Or I might just go to Mate where at least I know it can't get any worse than that.
@thestrangelet@pixelate The "Fedora team" is many thousands of people, most of which are unpaid volunteers. Stuff that doesn't get reported and fixed during the beta doesn't get fixed in GA - all that to say, a11y focused testers are most definitely welcome to help us improve things, and I'm sorry to hear this one got missed.
