Diff — Vojtux

**Vojtux** is an unofficial Fedora-based distribution created by **Vojtěch Polášek**, a blind software engineer who works in Red Hat's security-compliance team — and who lives inside the problem: when your daily driver is a mainstream distro, every upstream "improvement" that breaks accessibility is a change you feel personally. The project is deliberately minimal: Fedora's MATE spin with accessibility configuration, and nothing more — its stated ultimate vision is **"NO VOJTUX NEEDED!"** — the day Fedora is fully accessible, the respin retires itself.[[cite: [github.com/vojtapolasek/vojtux](https://github.com/vojtapolasek/vojtux); [orca-list announcement](https://opensource.com/article/22/9/linux-visually-impaired-users), Oct 2022]][[cite: It's FOSS — ["6 Linux Distros for Visually Impaired People"](https://itsfoss.com/visual-impaired-linux/)]]

Where mainstream Fedora treats accessibility as a session the user opts into, Vojtux inverts the assumption: **Orca runs instantly at the login screen** — the desktop is accessible before a user has even authenticated. It pre-configures specialized **Qt accessibility flags** system-wide (a frequent blind spot in mixed GTK/Qt environments), and ships custom scripts to toggle hardware monitor output on and off — for a blind user, a glowing screen is a privacy leak, not a feature.[[cite: [It's FOSS — visually impaired Linux distributions](https://itsfoss.com/visual-impaired-linux/)]]
