Question for anybody who uses a screenreader or other accessibility software on GNU/Linux, or knows anything about them: What DE/WM should I recommend to someone who wants to try using one?
I have a friend who's blind and deaf, and his main system runs Debian with no gui installed. He uses BRLTTY to read his TTY with a mechanical braille display.
He also has two windows systems that he uses for some things, with NVDA and JAWS set to output to his braille display.
He emailed me recently saying that he's fed up with a lot of the things Microsoft is doing with Windows 10, and he wants to try using a GUI on his Debian system so he can browse websites that won't work from a terminal browser, and do other things that he's using the windows computers for right now.
Has anyone tried using a few DEs with a screenreader? I think anything that works well with a screenreader should work with his braille device. boosts appreciated

instance & user block rec 

@patience also worth noting he's admin of nsfw.social and toot.zone

just a heads-up to folks:

best to block a wytcisgay troll named “mjc” (on three instances under three accounts — @mjc @mjc @mjc) who badgered Are0h and was super fucking condescending in a way which can only be parsed as p/a-racist

@wigglytuffitout half my gameplay now is just flipping on polygon vision and looking how they made cool stuff
