>Warm welcomes and best of luck. I'm excited to see how you do. I use gentoo with speakup (with a hardware synth) gnome and orca all the time and it works well. I compile my kernels and have speakup built in so that I can get the earliest possible speech, but you may not want to do this. My system is more complicated since I use zfs, but that is the great thing about gentoo, you get lots of choices. So, if you like mate, you can use that, if you like gnome you can use that, etc. Gnome requires you to use systemd, so be warned. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
