How can we help disadvantaged users of this site or computers generally

Thank you Paul
this discussion needed to get started
From what was discussed recently here

and in the replies that followed,
it would seem there is/was a Linux version called Vinux which is an Ubuntu derivative developed specifically for vision impaired Linux users.
It is apparently very useable. See the above link.
@FBClark tells a beautiful story, you should read it !!
However its development ceased in 2017.
It is still available for download, but it is an obsolete version of Ubuntu

We need to do what we can to encourage someone with development skills to take on
getting Vinux up to date.

There is also Adriane… the software for visually impaired users which comes free with Knoppix. I believe Knoppix, including Adriane, is still actively maintained?
It is Debian based.

The major distros seem to do very little. I seem to remember some (eg MX) have an
Accessibility Menu Item… but that is all. How is a person with limited vision supposed to find a menu item?

No doubt there are more bits of helpful Linux around.
Can we all have a look and mention it here. ?
We need to know what is available, and does anyone , have experience in this area?
and
@Abhishek can this site do anything to assist disabled people to access it?
