Any suggestions of what distro of Linux I should load onto a new computer?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I have Linux Mint (Mate Edition), on one of my machines. This is based
on Ubuntu 20.04, which is a long-term stable version. I hear, it will be
supported til 2030?  with orca configured for speech; can't test the
braille setup, I have no display.  Try out the live system from
https://linuxmint.com.  

HTH,


Dave
