I understand that not every aspect of Linux distro review can be covered.  But accessibility is pretty fundamental, and all the time podcasts and developers ignore it, it will never get any better.

As I suggested, the podcast I heard was 39 minutes long, and reviewed 2 distros.  So that is approx 19 minutes for each.  If 30 seconds out of those 19 minutes just answered my single question, can I install it alone, or is there an SSH server running when any Live DVD or CD is booted, then I will be able to either immediately dismiss the distro, or give it more attention.

Some distros are fundamentally bad. For example Regolith Linux uses the i3 window manager, which is a dead loss for accessibility.

Some distros are a disgrace, like the interview Ken gave with the lead developer of Mint a couple of years ago when the dev declared "we're not interested in accessibility."

But just take thirty seconds or so to answer a11y fundamentals.

It is very annoying when so many distros are Debian or Ubuntu derivatives, but have stripped out the speech from the installer
