Vojtux is an unofficial Fedora-based Linux distribution optimized for visually impaired users. The project provides Kickstart files and RPM packages to build accessible live media images with pre-configured screen readers (Orca), OCR software, and accessibility enhancements. The distribution follows principles of staying close to upstream Fedora, delegating fixes upstream rather than maintaining custom patches, and distributing modifications as reusable packages. It includes detailed build instructions using livemedia-creator, custom keyboard shortcuts for accessibility features, and pre-installed tools like LIOS OCR, VLC, and Audacity.
