How to use notion in gnome
There's no built-in way of doing this in GNOME, but you might already get a bit further with tools like https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation

Disability accessibility tools for Linux such as eyetrackers and voice commands?
I'm not familiar with Talon so I don't know if this is a suitable suggestion but nerd-dictation seemed to have been well received here when it was last promoted and it looks like it's still in active development.

Voice Control was supposed to be the Future. Is Linux lagging behind?
TBF Microsoft dropped IE, windows phone... that is not uncommon. But the OP is right, maybe not much for voice control but for dictation certainly. The FLOSS community is always far behind and thus always struggle with new technologies. We should be prepared. Since you've mentioned small open source project here's a demo of NerdDitaction. FYI Linux do have mobile devices developing.

I've made voice input for Linux that I use instead of a keyboard and mouse
Yeah you get me. I did have RSI which was amplified by my other issue, but it was that issue that progressed and why can't type now, not RSI. I'd be interested in hearing about using numen in combination with typing, but it's likely not ideal yet. Maybe just using speech to text for some things could help? It's not my project but there's: https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation that uses the same speech recognition as numen.

OpenAI deems its voice cloning tool too risky for general release
lol this marketing technique is getting very old. https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS is already amazing and open source.

Base TTS (Amazon): The largest text-to-speech model to-date
I've used coqui.ai's TTS models[0] and library[1] to great success. I was able to get cloned voice to be rendered in about 80% of the audio clip length, and I believe you can also stream the response. Do note the model license for XTTS, it is one they wrote themselves that has some restrictions.

Coqui.ai Is Shutting Down
My only exposure to Coqui was their text to speech software. If I remember correctly the website was a commercialized service with TTS and probably some other related things. I hope the software work continues in the open.

Demo of Anagnorisis - completely local recommendation system powered by Llama 2. Radio mode. Work in progress.
"tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/xtts_v2" model from https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS. It gives pretty good results and works with references, so it's pretty easy to change the voice. By the way the source code of the project is open: https://github.com/volotat/Anagnorisis but be ready, the code is pretty raw for now.
