I've been working through the NVDA basic training ebook, which covers the basics of using Windows with NVDA, with a blind high-school student. I've been repeatedly frustrated with how the book has to cover the variations between versions of Windows, and how Windows still nonetheless surprises us both by deviating from the book in some way. His Notepad had Copilot enabled, and I had to figure out how to go into Settings and turn that off.

Of course, GNOME and (especially?) Firefox are subject to UI churn as well, and Mozilla is now adding AI where people don't necessarily want it. But maybe it's not as bad (yet?) as what Microsoft has been doing with Windows 11. One possible mitigation might be if the training material was aligned with a recent LTS distro. Maybe the recently released Debian 13 (trixie)?
