Intel Unveils Android Phones that Can Also Run Debian GNU/Linux



Canonical is no longer the only company that wants to converge Linux-based platforms across desktop and mobile devices. Intel has now gotten into the game as well with an Android OS that can also run a desktop Linux software stack when plugged into an external display.
The phone, which Intel put on display at Mobile World Congress this week, is similar to Canonical's Ubuntu for Phones -- and even more similar to the company's deprecated Ubuntu for Android platform. The Intel platform takes a phone running Android, connects to an external display and gives users a complete desktop GNU/Linux environment.

| Red Hat Hires a Blind Software Engineer to Improve Accessibility on Linux Desktop
Accessibility on a Linux desktop is not one of the strongest points to highlight. However, GNOME, one of the best desktop environments, has managed to do better comparatively (I think).
In a blog post by Christian Fredrik Schaller (Director for Desktop/Graphics, Red Hat), he mentions that they are making serious efforts to improve accessibility.
Starting with Red Hat hiring Lukas Tyrychtr, who is a blind software engineer to lead the effort in improving Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora Workstation in terms of accessibility.
