Could I tempt you to boost this post, or get involved in a project to customise Linux for users with special needs/learning difficulties? I have two such children. Adults now (18). I want to do something for my boys and for people like them. 🙂❤️

I've already done a bit, using Ansible, with AlmaLinux and Ubuntu: https://github.com/robpomeroy/BrightOS

Please spread the word - I'm sure someone out there would love to get involved!

@robpomeroy What exactly ARE some of these special needs when it comes to computing on Linux? It would be really helpful to know what capabilities common distros are lacking so that developers can take on gaps to fill.

@xnite My main concern is to make it simple for the user, without "getting into trouble" - of any sort. So lots of guardrails. And preconfigured, so the user's carers don't need to be Linux security experts.
