Red Hat just published the Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 .

Accessibility Conformance Reports basically document how our software measures up against accessibility standards like WCAG and Section 508 . Since RHEL 10 is built on GNOME 47, this report is a good look at how our stack handles various accessibility things from screen readers to keyboard navigation.

Getting a desktop environment to meet these requirements is a huge task and it’s only possible because of the work done by our community in projects like: Orca, GTK, Libadwaita, Mutter, GNOME Shell, core apps, etc…

Kudos to everyone in the GNOME project that cares about improving accessibility . We all know there’s a long way to go before desktop computing is fully accessible to everyone, but we are surely working on that.

If you’re curious about the state of accessibility in the 47 release or how these audits work, you can find the full PDF here .
