I have linux-mint almost working accessibly. What's missing is orca talking during a login. Is there anything I can do with gsettings to make this happen? With linux-mint hitting the super key brings up the apps and puts you in a text box for searching. hit tab then right arrow and you end up in the list of apps on the system and use up and down arrows to select the app and enter to run the app. The accessibility section of linux-mint is messed up since it doesn't know orca screen reader has already been installed and asks users to install orca screen reader but that's all it does.
