There's a bunch of Linux distros made by/for the visually impaired, based on Ubuntu MATE, Fedora, or Debian. I wonder what the author's take is on these. Presumably they'll have those pain points fixed out of the box? Accessible Coconut, MATE based: https://zendalona.com/accessible-coconut/ https://zendalona.com/accessible-coconut/ Vojtux, Fedora based (you'll have to make your own image, don't see a prebuilt ISO): https://github.com/vojtapolasek/vojtux https://github.com/vojtapolasek/vojtux Emmabuntus, Debian based and education-focused. Might be suitable for new Linux users: https://emmabuntus.org/ https://emmabuntus.org/

The author seems to not like such distros: > Not with fragile scripts or one-person distros As a long-term strategy, such focused distros aren't the best idea. Derivative distros often have single developers, or smaller teams, making them vulnerable to disappearing. Its usually better to get all the changes needed into upstream projects, so that all desktops/distros are more accessible by default, and then contribute to testing/fixing accessibility in independent/major distros, so that all the downstream ones are more accessible by default. The author prefers NixOS as a solution though, so each individual controls exactly what is on their system so they can roll back if something breaks and add their own tweaks. Eventually that just results in the one-person distro scenario though.
