I suppose the conclusion is: accessibility doesn't happen by accident.
It needs people to look after it.

It's kind of sad really. I thought I'd try vanilla OS out, and
speech-dispatcher wasn't packaged correctly in the installer. Okay no
problem, I'll just install speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng. Then I found
out the installer was A, GTK4, and B, seemed to render everything to
Orca at once, so finding what screen you were on and going through
them was more trouble than it was worth.

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.
