Yes. You need to be very technical. E.g. there is a keyboard selection thing with multiple ambiguous options while on Mac you have to press like one key to identify it.
Even windows somehow works without requiring a PhD in keyboard layouts.

On modern distros the installer will already have the right one selected if your keyboard layout matches the system language (which is true for 99% of computer users). I'm pretty sure Fedora doesn't show you the list of layouts unless you want to manually change it.

If you mean 99% of US computer users, maybe.

But this also means you're fucked if you're blind and taking blindfold off doesn't make any difference.
This is not about religion, man. This is about accessibility.

they are saying that you can literally install the OS start to finish it (and configure it for sightless use to boot) without being able to see at all. As in blind. This was part of the point they were making about accesibility features and UI consistency in MacOS.
I don't understand this.
Are you saying its hard to install Linux? Has this ever been true? Usually you smash the Next button. There is a partioning screen, but that is some serious changes you are going to make.
I don't care what OS religion you follow, I'm taking the blindfold off during partioning.
