Back in the end of DOS days, I used a menuing program. One could arrow
to an item or type its initial character and it would call a DOS
executable. There was even a program such as this included with the
last couple versions of DOS. So would I say I was working in console
mode? Or maybe console mode is when you are commanding the operating
system directly? Then, how does console mode differ from terminal
mode? Or is that a whole other thing?

In many cases, this means you operate on the command line not in a
graphical environment. The console or command line mode really is where
all of the linux power tools become available and whenever the graphical
interface environment does anything useful it has to reach into the
command line environment to get it done.

It's always been a puzzle to me: What is meant by console or console mode?
I've heard that term for many years; just never knew what it was or is?
Thanks for any explanation or description.

Yes, I think slint would be a good distribution for you as a beginner if
you select to start in console mode during the installation. The reason
is even with mate and running mate-terminal the speech is less stable than
with speakup and running in console gets you speakup and other screen
reader packages that are more stable than orca. If you decide to go with
slint, please do yourself a favor and subscribe to the slint email list.
That's on freelists.org since that way you'll get operating-specific help
and you're not the only one using slint with a screen reader on that list.

Good afternoon,
I am new to Linux & am currently using Mint 21.1, but keep loosing speech
with Orca.
As a result, I may switch to Slint, which was recently recommended to me by
a friend.
Before I do though, I'd like to get opinions from the members of this list
as to whether or not this would be a good distribution for me, as a
beginner?
Thanks,
Jessica Dail
