Hi,

Noawadays, what you search is fully accomplished in a Debian GNU/Linux.  If you install it using the dark theme, it will install MATE, an old but flexible desktop environment (old in the design but up-to-date). The magnification is then ensured via Compiz, which seems to contain the features you are searching for. Our low-vision users anyway seem happy with this distro we provide for us and say it has as many useful features as Zoomtext, and more reliable than Windows or Mac. So I oconsider these feedbacks positive enough to suggest you to have a look at this distro.

If you dont want to install a distro, see on debian how you can have computers with debian inside. It exists, and with all accessibility tools pre-installed and configured.

Note I am describing a current situation, so it is possible in the future, GNOME desktop itself to support the most advanced features for low-vision, while it is not perfect today. But it will be done I hope.


regards

Hello there!

I have been Looking at a Variety of Linux devices lately; the Purism and Pine64 products in particular, and was wondering how I could possibly redo my workflow in a way that I could work on a pure Linux Maschine, whereas I currently use macOS, iOS and Windows 10.

The main Features that I personally Need are:

  * Screen magnification with a Keyboard shutcut + mousewheel (because
    repeatedly tapping on a Keyboard to zoom in is suboptimal…or,
    rather, very slow)
  * Full-screen color inversion through a Keyboard shortcut (like
    AltGr+I on Windows)

In Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I saw that I could already zoom in and out using a Keyboard shortcut…but I could not assign them to using my mousewheel instead (i.e. super+wheel).

What are the plans going Forward in the regards of the screen magnification in GNOME 3? I quite like GNOME and would like to use it more, but without a suitable Setup of screen magnification, I am kinda…barred.

I also took this to the Librem 5 community and may have started something there in regards to getting this worked into their System. I assume they are not using stock GNOME but rather a fork of it to support convergence between a phone and a lapdock (like NexDock or just connecting to a screen and outputting a Desktop there).

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Kind regards,

Kevin Ingwersen
