  • I have an elderly friend that I will probably need to migrate as 1 of their 2 computers doesn’t support win11. I am fully able to migrate them, but I really want it themed(Plasma6 probably ) to look as much like 10 as they a dealing with cognitive decline and I don’t want to force them to relearn using their computer.

    I need to start investigating, but I got over a year to do so. The other part is making sure the 2 pieces of proprietary software they use runs in wine. I expect both will, but need to check.

    This is obviously something that developers probably don’t think about as much as an accessibility issue in general.





  • That is a good idea. I will have to try that. I had used some yellow goggles a while back when I was bike riding, but I wasn’t have a sensory overload where everything bothers me then. I did notice that while everything seemed brighter, my eyes didn’t react as if it was. A quick search at a local store has yellow for under 10. I don’t see red, which I am a bit more curious about as I haven’t tried them. The advantage of “medical” is I can get them in prescription lenses(and styles), but I only need those for distance as I am nearsighted.








  • For most consumers it doesn’t matter. What will is “Why does program X run so slow when program Y is fast?”. That can be solved with marketing, like calling the ARM version of Windows “Windows M 11” or something like that. Programs optimized for “Windows 11 M” will run faster and older windows 11 programs will run, but slower. Explaining that will be key to whether Arm windows will succeed.

    Most users though use a small subset of programs. Like web browser, email, light office and some media consumption. Should work well enough for them.
