All good man :)

The reason the accessibility is so terrible is not that it doesn't exist - it clearly does - it is how it is able to be used.

On MacOS, you hold down the control-key and swipe two fingers up or down to zoom in and out respectively. On windows, you hold ctrl+alt and use the scrollwheel for the same effect. I tried to replicate this in Linux and ran into an insane amount of problems; from the screen magnification completely crashing on boot, forcing me to write a script to re-enable it after 1 second after login on Cinnamon - whilst KDE and Gnome didn't even have that feature in the first place and needed xbindkeys together with another startup script. Meaning... neither of them are pickup-and-go solutions.

I never heared of Nyx; what exactly is that? I currently have i2p and tor on my home server with their respective proxies exposed into the network, so I can always just point my browser at them should I need either. But apart from that, I haven't done much with those... although, I really want to.

I found this about screen reader magnification tool in KDE Plasma environment. This is a built-in function (the service name is Orca).

Hopefully it will help you:
