It should be no surprise that if you download some Linux distribution which has no accessibility community, it isn't accessible.

This sort of message keeps coming up on mailing lists with various distributions, with similar results.

If you want accessibility, you basically have to keep to the distributions for which someone is looking after the accessibility-related packages, and preferably for which there's a community of screen reader users.

For "mainstream" (i.e., not specifically accessibility-oriented) distributions, it probably means Arch, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu for the most part at this point - with apologies in advance for whatever I've inadvertently left out.

Don't download this installer.  Its package list has neither espeak nor
orca in it and that means if you do make the download mistake you're going
to need a sighted install and maybe won't find espeak or orca in their
repositories either.
