Linux Distro Accessibility

Which Linux distributions are most accessible? I researched the accessibility of Linux distributions before choosing Ubuntu. My sources included 8 accessible Linux distributions by Opensource.com and 5 Linux distros for visually impaired people by It's FOSS.

I opted for Ubuntu as a solid base distribution with the Gnome desktop environment. I now question this choice, because "Ubuntu Software" does not distinguish which application packages are apt, snap, or flatpak. How do other distributions compare for accessibility?

Comments Missing in Jerboa

Do others encounter hidden comments in Jerboa? Many comments do not appear in the app. I can tell they are missing based on the comment count at the bottom of a post.

Sometimes, I can only read child comments. When this occurs, the following error message appears in place of the parent comment.

There is no record of this comment.

However, I can read those same comments in a web browser. Also, I can read replies to my post or comment in my inbox in Jerboa, but not on the community page in Jerboa.

Is this a known or new bug?

When do children learn Nemeth?

When do blind children begin to learn Nemeth code? Is Nemeth introduced gradually alongside math or do young learners exclusively use literary UEB until they reach a certain complexity of math? For example, would blind students learning numbers learn numbers in just UEB or in both UEB and Nemeth? What about learning addition, subtraction, fractions, multiplication, division, simple equations, superscripts, and subscripts?
