And therein lies the problem. With multiple desktop environments that are accessible, Unity, GNOME, which one 
do you focus on? Do you provide documentation on the rabbit hole that is operating system installation, or 
even live image booting? yes both of those can be rabbit holes, that would require a lot of extra 
documentation to *try* to cover all the various scenarios a user may be in, a lot of which would likely 
require assistance from someone with full vision.

A good workaround for the above is the use of virtual machines, using VMWare player. yes, that is a little 
bit of a rabbit hole, in that particular computer hardware is required to run virtual machines, and even with 
the best configuration, it is not easy to get a low latency response from a VM, with regards to audio.

I think before we even begin thinking about getting material produced, we need to clearly define a scope, and 
stick to it. If that means one distro over another, or a desktop environment over another, than so be it.
