Description
Slint stands as a robust distribution, with accessibility software being frequently updated, while other components receive updates on an as-needed basis. Users can operate Slint in both console and graphical modes, effortlessly transitioning between them without the need for a system reboot. Additionally, it allows for the simultaneous launch of multiple graphical environments, making it versatile for various tasks. The Slint dashboard offers immediate access to essential tools, pertinent information, and useful links, enhancing user experience. The installation program, designed in text mode, is fully accessible for visually impaired users utilizing a screen reader or Braille display, navigating through a question-and-answer format that includes online assistance and integrated documentation. Notably, the btrfs file system is set up with subvolumes rather than distinct partitions, which effectively halves the space taken up on the storage medium, facilitates snapshot creation, and is particularly well-suited for SSDs, NVMe drives, and USB flash drives. This thoughtful design makes Slint not only user-friendly but also efficient in managing system resources.
