Linux

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.

Follow the blogs for Year of the Voice initiative from Home Assistant. There will be lots of pointers for the journey they've taken this year getting TTS and STT working for HA.

This! Good tts (piper for example) is key.

  • apps supporting modern screen reader stack, including wayland
  • good stable screenreaders
  • the entire OS supporting the screenreader not only as a GUI-level service
  • very good voices especially when set very fast
