I would recommend to start with Debian with Mate desktop environment.
This is a really good start for beginner in Linux.
You can also try to use Fedora Mate, as far as the start for a complete 
blind beginner user in Linux I find it to be even better than Debian 
because you get the latest stable Orca and BRLTTY there.
I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu because of different challenges with 
accessibility or you could use Ubuntu only if your sound card isn't 
supported by Debian installation disk.
I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu due to a version of accessibility packages 
that is used there and it requires some knowledge to get running the 
latest version of Orca and BRLTTY. Of course it's needed for every 
distro but still for example on Fedora the chance that you need to 
install Orca for master after installing the distro is much less because 
at the beginning you can work with the stable version provided by distro.
I believe it's better to work with something that is better prepared for 
a beginner for not getting a wrong impression.
So I would recommend you to try out Debian or Fedora Mate.
Thank you!
