    Faustina, it’s the FOSS alternative to the Kindle’s default font.

    Gentium Book, Alegreya, or Labrada. Humanist serif fonts for reading Fantasy and SciFi. Absolutely love them, can’t recommend these enough.

    OpenDyslexic. I used to hate reading. Read one and a half books this year. Also 3 novella’s. For fun! I never read for fun. Usually just programming books to get my feet wet before jumping into documentation. Never an entire book cover to cover unless Im obsessed enough.

    I was sceptical but it really does help.

      but it really does help

      depends on the person and symptoms. I was the opposite of sceptical, but when I tried it, I was super disappointed, because reading suddenly became MUCH more difficult.

      The non-open dyslexiefont is what helped me. Even though the differences seem minor.

      But the best solution for me is modern TTS while reading along.

    Lexend Deca from https://www.lexend.com/ because it’s the only font I could find which was studied during it’s creation for being more readable for many people.

    Atkinson hyperledgable. Made by the RNIB.

    I’m visually impaired and it really helps.

    It is also a good font in general for easy reading.

    There is also a next version. Little more modern looking and a mono version.

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.
