Best Distro for Blind

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello there,


Right now, I am using Fedora as my day to day Linux distro, and I'm 
doing everything from reading, writing, browsing the web, sending 
emails, and even school work without a glitch, I have been using Fedora 
for over a month now.

If you, how ever, want recommendations on distroes specifically made for 
the blind, I'd recommend Slint, and accessible Coconut, a distro based 
on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, long tirm support.

Hope this helps.

Best regards.

Francisco.
