Ugh can't wait until Linux is accessible for blind people like me. Y'all seen the new Windows File Explorer context menu? Freaking sucks. I'm sure I've posted this here before but dang, it just keeps getting worse.

Sorry for being ignorant, but I always imagined that the terminal workflow should work much better for blind people than Windows‘ reliance on graphical widgets. Or is the issue elsewhere?

It's incredible how bad it is. Tiny icons of the most important actions, like copy, paste, rename, along the top that are unique designs with no tooltips. If an action isn't available it's not disabled, but missing entirely. This is all not to mention the new strange delay and how it doesn't match the theme of file explorer at all. And if you want to access to options not in the very limited default ones, you have to click "show more options" that opens the classic menu in the old theme. It's just a mess.

Thanks to wayland, it's about to get even worse instead of better. Linux had surpassed windows in most aspects already (and I am enjoying this - no Windows on any machine, not even for gaming, thanks to Proton), then came Wayland and unfortunately it wasn't widely ignored.

Please understand that I understand the reasons behind Wayland, that the Wayland Devs are also behind X, and that X is an awful mess. I know and I believe, but Wayland is still the worst solution for the problem X created, in my humble view.

Please also accept that this is not a criticism of the awesomeness of Wayland/X devs. They are awesome. But they also were tired of X, and the result is, Wayland is undercomplex by at least a gut-factor of 10. And anything accessiibility-related is part of that.
