A Fedora-based, GNOME desktop Linux distribution built accessibility-first — from the boot menu to daily use. General-purpose daily-driver, not a niche/developer spin.
Status: early planning / pre-build. See docs/SPEC.md for the
full project specification (base distro, branding, accessibility commitments,
default apps, installer, licensing, and release plan).
ParadigmOS is built around a hard requirement: any user, sighted or not, must be able to install and use the system from the very first step. Orca is reachable straight from the boot menu, before the installer even starts, and stays available identically through install and first-run setup. See the SPEC for the full set of accessibility commitments.

The ISO is built inside a Fedora container (using livemedia-creator/lorax
against a kickstart file) run from Docker inside WSL2 on the maintainer's machine.
See build/ for the container definition and build scripts as they're added.
