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.

Gnome was already pretty great for accessibility (for a Linux DE anyway), and I'm glad to see that it's getting continued work.
Usually (understandably) it's overlooked
Also nice to hear them actually explaining why VRR hasn't been enabled yet - there are still kinks to work out. Reddit/Lemmy told me it's just because Gnome devs are evil pieces of shit who hate their users.
