Best Distro for Blind

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello,


I am a totally blind person and a LONG time Windows/Jaws/NVDA user. I am 
wondering what would be a recommendation for the best distro/GUI 
environment to begin using?  I would love to be able to move away from 
Windows and use Linux full time for browsing, email, word processing and 
spreadsheets. I have a Thinkpad X220 that I can use for Linux. About 15 
years ago, I played around with Venux, but that project seems to be 
dormant now. I have a Pi 3B+ running some ham radio software and I have 
to SSH into it occasionally and perform some command line stuff. For 
daily usage, I want a full GUI environment.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.


John
