Devin Prater :blind:<p>JIT isn't just for games! I just ran Arch Linux, with sound, on my iPhone! I used VoiceOver screen recognition to read the screen, then used espeak once I got that installed. I couldn't figure out how to enable Speakup, so I'll leave that for future me to tinker with. I'd be curious to know if any other blind people have used UTM, on the Mac maybe, and have some Windows VM's or a Windows install ISO that talks. I can probably only handle up to Windows 7 or so on this iPhone. But it would be cool to see if it's possible!</p><p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/UTM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UTM</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/sideload" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sideload</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ALTSTORE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ALTSTORE</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/archLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archLinux</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a></p>
