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

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I installed fedora mate 34, and had orca and logged in.
But after logging in, I could not get orca to work.
Using be my eyes, someone said mute was not pressed.
Volume was up.
So not found the problem yet.

Orca comes with it, and you can run a full install after pressing alt+f2 to open the run window and then entering the word orca. Wifi generally works out of the box, though the NetworkManager applet that controls it doesn't tell you what it is. Still, you can just hold the alt and control keys and double tap the tab key to get to the top panel, then shift tab past the toggle button and press the enter key to bring up the menu that has your wifi connections. There's not much more to tell other than it's a great OS, not just for learning, but for daily use, and one of the computers in the house that is running it is even being used for gaming and live streaming. If you need to dig deeper into the guts of the system, it allows for that as well. I for one highly recommend the Fedora MATE spin.
