Hello,For server configuration I think you don't need graphical user interface so you won't need orca for that. For me SSH access is enough for controlling server installs like this. If you need console screen reader you might like to look at fenrir.
I am running arch linux on everything what I have under my control. That installs with no graphic UI by default but I can install whatever e.g. minimalist WM like setup with ratpoison or full desktop environment like Mate or Gnome.
You might like to run raspbian on your rpi and create linux users to seperate your services, or perhaps setup lxc containers to harden it a bit more.

Accessible, yet still able to be script-driven is not something I am looking for. I want to be able to control the entire machine. I can definitely understand why people visually impaired would be drawn to a distro such as that though. I am wanting to also set up a server and plan to use my raspberry pie 4 to do so. Do you have any recommendations as to doing this? For security I am wanting something extremely minimal and light weight, I need to be able to harden the server and it needs to obviously be compatible with Orca or another screen reader. Ideas?

The interaction is keyboard driven by default and is predictable. While built-in features such as run box are not accessible key bindings are configurable so blind people can add their own scripts replacing or tweaking the existing functionality. Back in the days, I was experimenting with ratpoison and orca on raspberry pi 2.

Surprisingly, the developers are aware of this issue and I am communicating with them now about hopefully getting something working. I appreciate all of the information! It seems as if MATE is my best choice for speed and accessibility. What benefits are there for the other distro‘s like rat poison for someone using Orca?

It is possible to install orca with xfce as well. Looking at qbes os, it is transitioning from KDE less accessible to gnome moderately accessible: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usability-ux/#gnome-kde-and-xfce The thing I am worried about is that qbes vm orchestration is so damn complicated that by default at-spi2-core dbus communication would be blocked as a potential security risk. So in order to get that running you need a help from someone who do really knows that security model and can try to understand accessibility at the same time. See the FAQ... https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/ Another tricky think at least fo me as I don't know qbes is that the audio may not be available straightforward: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/audio-virtualization/ When tallking about window managers it's great if window manager is accessibility aware but depending of your experience you might be able to run without such window manager. Gnome's window manager metacity and mate's window manager marco have accessibility support built-in. It means they are emitting accessibility related events when switching applications (e.g. by pressing alt+tab key) and some other things I guess window menu that you can usualy reach by pressing alt+space. Other than this window manager have no other accessibility related features I think. There are blind people who are using window managers where there is no accessibility support built-in what so ever for example ratpoison or openbox.

I have a few questions if anyone could help me answer them: Is orca compatible with all window managers? I would honestly just like to have the fastest one possible for obvious reasons of no light perception. Can I use it with any window manager for which of them would be the quickest? Is orca compatible with any flavor of Windex based off off Debian? I would like to get orca running on WhoNix and eventually Qubes. Qubes isn’t even possible right now, but hopefully will be in the future. I would think you can run orca as I have had success with getting Kali to run it.
