Accessible Distros for a beginner?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I've used several distros since about 2006, some more than once. Debian 
is a very good one, as you say, and it has very good documentation.  I 
had some weird problems with it after upgrading to stretch on my old 
machine, and had them again when I tried out buster last fall.  Slint is 
the only one I've tried on this machine.  I like that it booted up with 
speech by default, I found it fairly easy to partition the drive as I 
wanted to, and I like the tools it has for using emacspeak and switching 
among speech outputs.  That said, Debian also certainly deserves serious 
consideration, and its attention to accessibility is one reason.
