I've heard good things about Ubuntu Mate. I've tried it myself, and I have to say, it's pretty darn accessible.

nomore, with their "good installer" they broke the a11y, unless you are going to ask sighted for help, because it's based on trash installer.
I have put quotes, see where.

In my opinion good old Debian still has the best out-of-the-box accessibility for installation. Boot up the USB drive, wait a few seconds, press s and then enter. Speakup starts talking, and the braille display wakes up if plugged in. After finishing the installation you will have desktop accessibility enabled upon first boot. I recommend MATE desktop. Eventually you can even use the graphical installation, but I've never tried it.

even better than talking arch?

At least in terms of user experience, yes.

You don't need talking arch. Get the original arch iso, when it boots into its menu before it boots into the terminal, press down arrow then enter. That'll give you speech, and you can then go install it. If you missed the menu, when the terminal comes up just type systemctl start espeakup

I like pure Debian, so I don't have to worry about any ubuntu things. It is light-weight, I run it on a 2005 computer with 2gb of ram and a duel core athlon 64 and it is nice and fast, using only 300mb of ram running the mate desktop. And Arch is good too. Speaking of arch, there is now, this has been around for about a year now, but now there is an installer for arch. Just let the thing boot for about two minutes, then type "systemctl start espeakup," make sure you are on the internet with a ping command and then if you are type "archinstall."
Anything can work. Just decide how much, or what you would like to subject for said thing to work.

I'm personally not a fan of debian. For one, the kernel version is ancient, same as the packages. Second, I've noticed that apt takes way longer than it should to install packages, I've seen pacman install 500 packages in about 30 seconds, apt however takes more like 10 minutes.

You can use Debian's backport repository to get a more recent kernel, only one or two versions behind the latest available version I think. Thats my prefered way for installing Debian on newer hardware.
I've downloaded Arch yesterday and was able to boot it successfully with speech enabled, maybe I'll try to install it alongside Debian on my laptop.

I installed Ubuntu Mate 21.10 last week. Already, I'm running 4 virtual machines via Qemu because screw Oracle VirtualBox up the backside, and I successfully updated the kernel to 5.17; it was previously running 5.13. It's a 2.3GHz haswell era Pentium machine with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB Western Digital HDD. Despite these low specs, Ubuntu and my 4 Qemu VMs run like beasts!

I have absolutely no problem with qemu, the problemI have is the frontends used to interface with it. For me virtual box does a far better job of grabbing keyboard input than spice does. If there's something out there that uses qemu but grabs keyboard input as well as virtual box does, then I will certainly use qemu even if making VM's appear as actual devices on the physical network is a pain in the neck to do.

I can't use that semi-accessible shithouse for more than 2 minutes without wanting to throw my laptop through the nearist brick wall! Oracle has never cared about blind people, and they never will.

To get around the keyboard problem in Qemu, I install a program called SharpKeys inside the VM and remap the ungrabbed keys to other keys that: a] can be grabbed, b] I don't really use for their primary function. I mostly virtualize Windows, so this isn't a problem. Not sure what I'd do about Virtualizing Linux, though. If one more person recommends VirtualBox to me, I'll set my hair on fire!
