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.

depends on the person and symptoms. I was the opposite of sceptical, but when I tried it, I was super disappointed, because reading suddenly became MUCH more difficult.
The non-open dyslexiefont is what helped me. Even though the differences seem minor.
But the best solution for me is modern TTS while reading along.
I also sometimes does TTS while reading along, but most of the time I'm doing it it just means I should get some rest instead of forcing more focus (AuDHD).
Yeah this font made me dyslexic
