To the visually impaired users: can you reccomend me an accessible distro?

I have a friend with total blindness who has been wanting to switch to linux.

He has had some success with ubuntu, but wanted to try other distros.

Today he told me he tried to install Kali, since it has some features that are useful for his programming. However, he could not access the screen reader through the installation process which rendered it completely inaccessible to him.

I did some research and found that Kali has some trouble with the screen reader for the terminal, which people seem to solve by installing and using gnome as default DE.

I tried to help him remotely, but we haven't had any success. Unfortunately, today I can't videocall him to help with the installation.

So I came here asking for help: could you reccommend an accessible distro for people who need screen readers? It needs to be accessible since the installation, which can be done via terminal (he knows how to do it).

Additionaly, if anyone has a tip on how to solve the kali issue, it would be much appreciated.

Sorry for the writing, english is not my first language.
Thanks in advance!
