You’re going to like that raspberry Pi. I have a bunch of them and use them
for small phone systems, they work great.
Not a fan of windows at all. I’ve seen windows kill someone in the past,
literally cause their death so that’s when I got off the Microsoft bandwagon.
Good luck on your Pi adventure. That series 400 looks pretty interesting. I
have the standard 4 and it’s very fast and can do very interesting things.

Okay my 10 cents on this for what its worth.
When I look back over the time I’ve been using a Mac at how technology has
advanced I take a huge intake of breath as we’ve gone so far.
I’ve always taken the attitude that their is no one perfect size for everyone
so therefor best to embrace everything you can, find what’s right for you and
your needs and in the meantime learn about what’s out there with an open mind
just in case something better comes along.
I use several different computing platforms here and I love each of them,
about to try out the new Raspberry Pi 400 for example.
I’ve been using a Mac full-time since 2006 when I inherited my Late Brother’s
iBook G4 I think it was and I loved OSX Tiger the minute I set my fingers
upon that machines keyboard.
I like Windows as well and particularly Windows 10.
The iPhone and Android phones are another huge advancement in technology that
have benefited me.
The problem seems to be that a lot of people don’t have time or won’t give
the time over to learn how a particular system works thus when it comes to
comparisons or making comments about a system they don’t know what the system
offers thus they spread false information around the community, that’s
unfortunate.
I remember a classic case in point in a review of a MacBook Pro.
The chap who conducted the review rated the Mac as an unmitigated disaster
for blind people because it didn’t have the accessibility that JAWS did.
Thankfully I was able to contact the Gentleman and the first thing I asked
him was about the VoiceOver Screen reader, he had never heard of the
VoiceOver tutorial which could be accessed and thought that VoiceOver would
work the same way as JAWS does with Windows.
I told him where he could lay his hands on the relevant documentation which
he never knew existed.

I just don’t see myself ever returning to windows or jaws.
My mac serves my needs efficiently
as well as ios.
But your so right,great strides of advancements now in numerous products
with speech output.
Those who had that vision to develope software that enables so many with a
multitude of disabilities are to be commended for seeing into he future and
make a pathway for all of us to benefit from.
