At the beginning of the year, my computer's hard drive died. So, I was forced to replace it and reinstall the operating system. I'm a Linux user, and my preferred OS is Slackware Linux, which I've been using since 2009. But this time, instead of installing Slackware like usual, I decided to install Slint. It's a Linux distribution based on Slackware, with a great plus for us visually impaired users. It comes with screen reader software preinstalled by default, and even has a talking installer, which allows us to install the operating system without the need to resort to sighted assistance.
I've been using Slint since January 2018 and am very pleased. I've written an article talking about my experiences and impressions about this Linux distro on my personal blog. You can check my article in the link below (I won't put the whole text here because I don't want search engines penalizing me for duplicate content):
Just an aside, gotta thank you for making learning Portuguese accessible with the dual translations. And lucky for me, you also write things I'm interested in. Definitely giving a follow.

I do this kind of thing, too! Mainly with video games. Listen to the Japanese version dialogue, then the English version dialogue (or vice versa). XD
I don't know how far you are in learning Portuguese, but the other day I came across these basic Portuguese lessons by @crissimoes (it's Portuguese from Portugal, though). You can find them in her DSound page:

Currently, I can pretty much understand a significant portion of (basic) general words, specifically when reading. Speaking, however, I think requires a different type of memory that I haven't yet built up.
If I read more in Portuguese, I not only think more in Portuguese, but gain a larger repertoire of words. Eventually I'll be able to formulate my own sentences with clarity and fluidity. At least, I'm hoping to compensate for the lack of conversational experience.
Also, I default to Portugal Portuguese, but it seems that the rest of the world is going with Brazilian Portuguese.
