fedora 28 speakup

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi, Didier:

I think the answer is usually familiarity with how things work. Yes,
it's all Linux, but the config files in /etc can be very different. And,
of course, package management is very different, e.g. dnf for Fedora,
apt for Debian, pacman for Arch, etc., etc.

I would further hazard there may be applications that are well
maintained on one platform and not another. Is it just my Arch where
Linphone has been so horribly broken for over a year?

I'm actually thinking of running multiple virtual machines to try and
get certain apps working again, perhaps using different OS environments
in each vm.
