Endless OS accessibility

Endless OS accessibility

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi folks.

 

Sorry, if this topic have been raised here before.

Some users requested me to help them with setting up accessibility with
their laptops running Endless. I personally have not been using Endless
before and a bit googling showed me that this is Debian based OS. But, as
far, as I can tell, it has no possibility to install deb packages directly.
I plan to install this OS on one of my devices to see, what a totally blind
person can do with it, but, if someone here already tried it, I would highly
appreciate any comments and hint.

I am also interested in possibility to set up screen magnification for low
vision users on that system.

 

Look forward for your responses!

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Sergei.

I've likewise never used it, but according to this 2017 article,
Endless is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS distribution.
<https://www.linux.com/learn/intro-to-linux/2017/4/endless-os-unique-take-linux-thats-perfect-new-users>.

The article says it uses aptitude, but not from the command line, only
from the Software Center.

Best regards,
