Hi Janine,
Again, I likely should have started my own thread rather than ask my
question here.
I know that Mac os has its own terminal. My wondering was if Voiceover
works at least in a basic level in that terminal, meaning no other screen
reader is needful.
as I am not a windows user at all that aspect is not really important.
Although I have come across more than one article suggesting this might
be the end of Linux distributions all together.

Hi, Karen:
This isn't for Voice Over and the Apple OS X environment. It's for
Windows 10, so is relevant here because of Bootcamp.
You would use whichever screen reader you use with Windows on Bootcamp,
e.g. NVDA.
At least this is how it's worked for the past 3 years since Microsoft
first introduced a Linux subsystem in Windows 10. Perhaps the fact that
the new approach Microsoft announced relies on a virtual machine might
indeed take Windows screen readers out of the picture, and one will need
something native to Linux like Fenrir probably. Time will tell, I
suppose.
Best,
Janina

Does voiceover remain consistent when using Linux in this way?

Announced last week and causing quite a stir in certain circles,
Microsoft is tightly integrating a Linux subsystem into Windows 10 for

Oh, and every Chromebook will also support Linux (plus Android) out of
the box, according to Google's announcement last week.
We all know, of course, that home brew will let us run all kinds of
Linux in the Mac Terminal already.
Best,
Janina
