From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I tried this in Fedora/Wayland previously, and it seems to work in most applications. It uses "VOSK" models which the GUI can download automatically - you just pick your language and desired model size when setting it up.
When I was exploring this a few months ago, I noticed speech recognition models have moved on quite recently (e.g. https://github.com/openai/whisper which can be run locally) but didn't see anything integrating it into an input-method like the above.
