Two Arch beginner questions

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Personally, I use startx for starting things and have it set up to auto 
launch the graphical session (which you can find how to do on the Arch 
wiki and is harmless)


Secondly, no, espeakup and Fennrir work on the TTY mostly. You /can/ 
have Fenrir work on a terminal but I have little experience with this.


There's two sorts of console in Linux


One, you have your TTY, or actual console


2. You have a terminal which is a mini console in the graphical 
interface, such as Mate-terminal


On a graphical interface like Mate, you use Orca for a screenreader, it 
covers using a terminal out of the box so you are sorted there
