Hello Ratislav, I just checked: Accessible Coconut is way better than Ubuntu Mate 24.04 from an accessibility stand point IMHO. It is fully accessible with speech out of the box including in the Arctica lightdm greeter. Further, you can switch from graphical to console mode (pressing for instance ctrl+alt+f2) and have speech there (using fenrir in their case), which last I checked Slint can do but not Ubuntu (at least not Debian) out of the box. Granted it's currently based on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) including orca 42.0 but that doesn't seem to bother its users. Maybe you could install it to check and port some of their custom settings and installed software in your umai script?
