Re: Accessible Distros for a beginner?

NVDA will not run in Wine. I heard it may have something to do with wine lacking accessibility libraries or something, but I'm not sure. In Wine, it either plays its startup sound and dies, or it does nothing at all. I can't remember exactly, as it's been a long time since I've played with it. I do recall playing with it on ReactOS, which is essentially a full OS based at least partially on the Wine code base but including its own kernel and graphical desktop environment. NVDA did not run there either, and I saw something I thought I would never again see in life, the blue screen of death. So Orca is currently the only workable solution on any Linux desktop environment, and applications running in Wine will need to self-voice in order to be usable. Perhaps this has changed in the years I have used exclusively non-x86 hardware, but I haven't heard anything through the grapevine that tells me anything different, so likely this hasn't changed.
