Not sure how much Mint depends on Ubuntu now,...it is Debian based though!

But my key requirement is Gnome 3 with the accessibility option of zoom,

So I moved from Mint to Fedora based distros and am current;y running the Korora Gnome Distro which works well for me.

But check Fedora for support of those key packages you mention.

I have no idea whther they might

Oh, i thought it was ubuntu based- that’s good to know-

[[But check Fedora for support of those key packages you mention.]]

I tried running fedora on a live cd once but couldn’t get it to work- I’ll try it again- I probably did something wrong in unetbootin or something- if i can’t get it running, I’ll try installing to an old 85 gig drive i have and give it a try- easy enough to switch hard-drives for a test run- I do like hte cinnamon menus though- don’t liek distros where menue is at top-
