@Xavier @prism I'll assume you're sighted so here you go, a small crash course on Linux for the blind:
Go to an OS where you have to gamble if your screen works in the installation or not first. You have only black and white colors and the UI is ugly, inconvinient and has the speed from two-three decades ago. Every time you do an update you have the chance of a driver to fuck up and you to not have a image on screen at all. To get your system halfway near usable you need to use and rely on patches posted on 2015 by some guy saying "it works on my machine". Needless to say 80 % of it don't actually work on yours. Thus, you write your own, daily.
Would you prefer to use such system over a system that is modern, blazing fast and receives stable updates and fixes reliably? Where your screen actually doesn't blackout when update your video drivers?
Does that sound impossible for 2026 and a huge community of developers that develops actively? Yeah sure it does, but now replace "screen" through "screenreader" and any visual details through audio. There you go - you got the state of Linux for blind volks and why telling blind users to use Linux is such an insult. You're asking somebody woh is able to start a machine and immediately reliably start a builtin screenreader to install more established software to willingly choose a system that gives you the opposite.
Linux is awesome. It's fast, global and memory-efficient. Of course I would use it if I could. I have no problem installing packages or working with the command line - infact I quite like it. What i have a problem with, though is accessibility being so decentralized. I'd have to very, very carefully think about which distribution I go to first, because changing distros isn't just reinstalling an OS. I potentially would need to patch my own installation media to automate the installation when no screenreader works and then I'm welcomed by needing to get into a completely different stack and somehow patch something that comes close to a screenreader on it.
Here some more reading from someone who wrote it down.

Just use Linux.
