Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Mate 20.10 installer

[Matt Dizak <matt dizak gmail com>]

Apologies and wasn't keeping track of this thread, but if you're
looking for an accessible Linux installer I can highly recommend Linux
Mint MATE at https://linuxmint.com/.

Works great, even when booted via USB.  It's also basically Ubuntu,
runs off Ubuntu repos, etc.  Boot from USB and once it's loaded,
cimply press Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal, then type "orca" and screen
reader will turn on.  From there, there's an "Install Linux Mint" icon
on the desktop to open the installer, and everything goes through just
fine with Orca screen reader.

Hope that helps.

Matt
