I'm interested in learning more about screen reader accessibility for
Linux, as well.

For an intro to linux accessibility with a screen reader, I enjoyed ZAccess's
YouTube videos
<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWJ0Tcw7rqOtGt0Q9oQr4g/videos>,
particularly "Screen-reader review with Orca in Gnome Terminal," and
"Introduction to Orca screen reader for Linux."
