How accessible is Bluefin, Aurora and Bazzite to people with impaiments?

I really didn’t think about it until I received this feedback, but what can we do to make the systems easier to setup and use for people with blindness or other impairments?

Accessibility on the Linux desktop is not very good in comparison to Windows or macOS. Universal Blue’s images are also heading towards being Wayland only eventually and the current state of accessibility options for Wayland is not on par with X11 unfortunately is the hard truth.

I think its something that should be explored by a maintainer, contributor, or someone in the community eventually. Bazzite, Bluefin, and Aurora already use what is available and if the desktop environments (i.e. GNOME/KDE Plasma Wayland) lack support for specific accessibility options and there isn’t other ways available then there’s only so much that can be done from our side.
