Love that they're making these accessibility improvements as an open platform that other DEs can also leverage. Linux and Linux programs are going to become a lot more accessible to people because of this foundational work.

Compliments to the gnome devs and to the STF, accessibility is something very important that understandably doesn't usually receive much development.

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.
