[Trainer-Talk] Linux

[David Ward]

I've got Unbuntu installed in a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on my 
Windows 10 system, which I guess works like a VM. 20 years ago I bulit 
my first PC out of high school to run Linux or Windows it was a 
dual-boot system. I use it mostly for the CLI and Bash these days, like 
was mentioned. But my vision isn't what it use to be, I'd love to hear 
about screen readers folks use and or if there's a Zoom/ZoomText/Magic 
like piece of software as well, and or if any of the distros have 
anything built in, on either front.
