Hi. I want to use lagrange on my ubuntu computer, but the app just is'nt working with orca. Shame, no gui gemini clients which support orca.

This is related to issue #186 that is generally about accessibility API integration.

When it comes to Orca, it appears the AT-SPI API that it uses is based on D-Bus, which is currently not available to Lagrange and also a blocker for proper Flatpak Portal API support (#245, #282).

My current thinking is that the path of least resistance here is to make it possible to have alternative UI chrome implementations in the app, so you could build one with GTK+ for instance, solving both the AT-SPI and Flatpak Portal issues and generally having better integration on a "standard" Linux desktop. Similarly, on iOS for instance, you could build the UI with native controls to have support for iOS accessibility features. However, this is not a trivial undertaking, so it needs to be worked towards gradually.
