Dear samantha
I'm new to linux as well. I have been playing around with different distros and for me personally, have decided to choose ubuntu mate. It seems to be the most accessible in terms of orca and fairly lite on system performance on my late 2011 Mac book pro.
I burned the iso file of ubuntu mate to a flash drive using a programme on windows called rufus and launched it from the flash drive on the Mac.
This is how I have been trying out different distros hence, deciding on ubuntu mate. If this is all too technical then I'll stop here but believe me, once you understand how to burn your chosen distro to a flash drive, run from it then start up orca you don't even need to install it on your machine. You can just simply try it out before commiting forward with the installation. I hope this helps
Regards

How do in install orca if there is no version on the OS already and it is also not in my list of repository? Different distributions may have different versions of orca, I tend to
use orca master, because development is quick.

Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is:
How do
you spend it?
