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)?

    Incidentally, on the topic of LTS distros where Orca works well on Wayland, particularly with GNOME, I regret that the implementation of proper keystroke monitoring and grabbing, which I prototyped in mid 2024 and which someone else brought to production in time for GNOME 48, didn't get there in time for RHEL 10, which ships GNOME 47. Maybe I could have done more to bring that important functionality to production sooner, but my efforts were focused elsewhere in the second half of 2024.
