Nice to see accessibility on the list! From what i understand, things are rough right now for screen reader users on Plasma/Wayland.

Supposedly Windows is actually the gold standard here, and GNOME currently has the best experience on Linux
Does that mean it will be simpler to enable multimedia codecs? That is always a bit of a pain point on a new Fedora install, in my experience.
- They sadly can't do that for legal reasons.
  
  didn't realize that was a legal issue. why can other distros automate it when installing the os?
  
  Will we see a change with this at least with H.264 since its patents are expiring? I hope so.
- another pain point is installing nvidia drivers. the first time i spent like 2 hours searching the interwebs for a working instruction for my gpu...
  
  Huh? That has gotten very easy with the RPMfusion repos for those drivers especially being enabled by default so you can just install them from the main software center. But this isn't exactly new.
