First, I have used open RC and my main thing is orca as that is why I was asking. I’ll have to look and see if Fenrir is in the repo. If so, I’ll give it a look, but even if so, I will still have to have speech of some sourt. I some times wonder what the point off having an accessibility team if there is no easy way to get things going. As for what kernel I used I used a gentoo kernel bin so this should not be a problem.
