Accessibility in Kubuntu

We want to make computers work for everyone, whatever your physical circumstances. So, we provide tools that make Kubuntu one of the most accessible operating systems around.

You can get at these tools in one place: the <em>Accessibility</em> preferences, inside the System Settings application from the menu. From there, you can turn on helpful tools like <em>Modifier Keys</em>, <em>Keyboard Filters</em>, and <em>Activation Gestures</em>.

Remember to also look over the <em>Appearance Preferences</em>, too. You can choose between different visual styles and even change the fonts that are used by applications.

The <em>KDE Software Compilation</em> has quite a few games ranging from card games to logic games and board games.

If you need help, try <em>Help</em> from the menu, or the <em>Help</em> menu in most applications.

In addition to our extensive written help, the Kubuntu community in conjunction with the Ubuntu community, provides free technical support in person and over the Internet. There is also commercial support available through Canonical, its partners and approved companies. Learn more at <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/support">ubuntu.com/support</a>.

The Kubuntu community consists of a group of individuals, who make up one of the greatest teams in the open source community, work on various aspects of the distribution, providing advice and technical support, as well as helping to promote Kubuntu to a wider audience.

Look over <a href="https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/GettingInvolved">wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/GettingInvolved</a> and see where you might be able to help out. Remember, it is easy to get involved and the work you do will be seen by millions of people around the world.

The installation will finish soon. We hope you enjoy Kubuntu.
