I recently had surgery on my foot, and the doctors orders are to not bear weight on it for six weeks. Right now I have a great support system in place, which is basically hopping on 1 foot and holding onto someone’s shoulders as I go. We’re thinking of transitioning to a wheelchair, wondering if anyone has experience using a wheelchair with a cane? Does that even work? The doctors said to use crutches, then quickly added, not sure how that would work. Lol.

Switching from Arch to Debian Testing for accessibility + general use — experiences?

I'm an intermediate Linux user currently on Arch. I went with Arch because some of the accessibility software I rely on works much better on a bleeding-edge release cycle.

That said, I'm considering switching back to an apt-based distro, specifically Debian Testing.

A few questions for anyone running Debian Testing day-to-day:

- What's the general experience like for coding and everyday computer use? (Not asking about gaming.)
- How stable/up-to-date does it feel compared to Arch in practice?
- I also have an NVIDIA GPU — is that likely to cause headaches on Debian Testing?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone with real-world experience, especially if you also use accessibility tools (screen readers, etc.) day to day.

in the settings pannel, I select the models tab and press manage. It will happely locate and install gemma4:26b but cannot find gemma4:12b. No error is givven, the text field just clears and nothing is installed.
