I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 right now, but if I were installing a new
system, I'd go with Ubuntu 18.04. I'm not sure what you mean by update,
but running sudo apt-get upgrade will update your system without a
problem. It won't move you from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 though. For
that, I just reinstall.

What version of Ubuntu should I be installing? I have version “ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso”. I have a few earlier versions but all of them kee wanting me to update. I am new to anything Linux and I am not sure what I am facing when I try to update.

In earlier versions of Ubuntu drums would play when it was ready
for a login. Maybe a way around this would be for espeak to run
in command line environment to get a log in and then perhaps a
user could run startx to bring up a graphical display and
perhaps start orca. You could also try orca -s after keying in
alt-f2 or alternatively orca -r to replace whatever is running
and start orca again from scratch.

Hello,
I tried this already but I didn't hear anything. Will it work regardless
of what sound drivers I have? I know that Narrator works just fine when
I boot from media using control Windows Enter.

yes it comes with orca. Try windowskey-s a few minutes after you start
the computer. You should need to do this only once. After that, when
you boot you'll have speech.

Subject: Installing Ubuntu on an AMD HP Laptop
Hello, everyone.
I decided to try installing a Linux distro after my Windows 10 image
started malfunctioning. I didn't want to have to lose all my data, so I
wanted to see if using Linux would allow me to access all of my files
and put them on an external hard drive.
I downloaded Ubuntu 18.04 Iso and the Rufus utility. I put the Iso image
on my flash drive using this utility.
From past experience with an AMD HP computer, i found that pressing the
escape key immediately after turning on the computer, and then pressing
F9 would bring me to the list of boot options. From here I pressed down
arrow to select USB media, and pressed enter. At this point I don't know
what happened next because I don't know if Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit AMD comes
with any screen reader, or what the commands would be to launch it. I
used the Microsoft seeing AI app to read what was on the screen.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
-Heavenly Harmony
