Hiya there all:
I've used Linux for a long time, since 2003 or so, and even now, I
don't consider myself an advanced user. That said, I use both Slint
and when Stormux was F123, I used that on a daily basis as I am on the
test team, but as an end user. Proof of concept in future is all very
well, but there's something, or rather two somethings already here.
And neither one of them difficult to use. I can say that as an
end-user and applaud both of them.
And when your proof of concept does show up, that too will very likely
be good, the more choice we have the better.
Just my couple of coppers worth... back to the adventurers' guilde
hall I go... Grin.

an iso someday as a proof of concept not as a regular distribution to don't
promote fragmentation.
Some design adding accessibility tools later on, I thinked from the start
many aspects for accessibility, it will need more work at start, after it
should be a breeze.
Just with a part time coder and a part time computer artist, I should be
able to bring something decent but not now since I have many things to do,
just got a loss, much housework for the wood stove, ...

Hello,
Let's stay positive.
Indeed if someone invests one's skill and time to provide to blind users
an accessible linux distribution usable on very affordable computers,
already installed in an image, as does Storm but running Debian I will
for sure applaud. Any voulunteer? Michael?

rare
for blinds using Linux, I know thousands of Linux users, I seen 3-4
skilled enough and it's mostly cause I focus on accessibility.it.
Count me in if a Debian based version happen, I was up to something

Hello list,
As some of you may know the F123Light project came to an end for lack
of
funds.
But, like a phoenix rising from ashes, a new project is born and
continues F123: Stormux, developed by a small team led by Billy Wolfe
aka Storm Dragon.
Let's quote its home page https://stormux.org/
Stormux aims to bring a low cost, fully accessible to the blind,
andpurpose computer to the masses. Stormux is configured to be
accessible
out of the box. All you need do is write the image, insert the card,
Piplug it in to get started.
Stormux is optimized for the Raspberry Pi 4. It runs the Mate desktop
and is powered by Arch Linux.
Stormux provides access to the console using the Fenrir screen
reader,
and the desktop using Orca.
Stormux is in a very early stage, but images are already available
here:
https://stormux.org/downloads/
If you want to try, it is highly recommended to register to the
mailing
list, so that you can get help and provide feedback.
Information: https://groups.io/g/stormux
To subscribe: stormux+subscribe@xxxxxxxxx
You can support financially the project: Storm has now a Patreon page
for that, as he recently wrote on the Stormux mailing list:
https://groups.io/g/stormux/message/88
I encourage you to do so, so that the Stormux project can continue to
develop itself.
Why, as the developer of Slint, another accessible Linux distribution,
do I spread the word about Stormux? Because:
1. We do not compete. Slint is for x86_64 computers only so far.
2. It's good that blind computer users have a choice.
3. I have a high esteem for Storm and the Stormux team, and we help
each
other for the mutual benefit of our projects.
Best regards,
Didier
