Sorry, did not know about that . I am hoping that there is good material out
there for learning this stuff.

WSL = Windows Subsystem for Linux. So long as you use the windows console
interface (the default when you run the installed desktop
shortcut) jaws works with it just like any other console program.

At least using jaws the WSL console is perfectly accessible. I have
not tried running a windows-side X server and clients from the WSL
side, that pretty much seems like a nightmare (I hated X even when I could
see).

Hey all,
I've been coding for about a year now, and my interest in tinkering
with Linux has been increasing. I've finally started poking around on
the internet for information on how to get into started, and it looks
like Microsoft's WSL application is the way to go for me. Plus, given
Microsoft's current outlook on accessibility, I figured there's a
good chance it'll be accessible.
With that, I'm a JAWS user, and was curious if anyone has experience
with Linux and WSL, can speak to WSL's accessibility and use with a
screen-reader, and knows of accessible learning sites for Linux?
Thank you for your time,
Zach
