Which Linux distributions are most accessible? I researched the accessibility of Linux distributions before choosing Ubuntu. My sources included 8 accessible Linux distributions by Opensource.com and 5 Linux distros for visually impaired people by It’s FOSS.

I opted for Ubuntu as a solid base distribution with the Gnome desktop environment. I now question this choice, because “Ubuntu Software” does not distinguish which application packages are apt, snap, or flatpak. How do other distributions compare for accessibility?

    Thank you! I previously read that Debian was difficult for beginners, but often favored by seasoned Linux users. What makes Debian a good choice for accessibility?

      Debian used to be more difficult so I hear, it’s the same now. I don’t know anything about the accessibility options but you can test drive it on a USB drive and search the Synaptic package manager for related software to your needs.
