I'm looking to make the switch to Linux but I'm facing a unique challenge: I can't use a physical keyboard for some reason. I've checked out a site that recommends Zorin or Linux Mint, but I'm not sure if they'll meet my needs. I need a distribution that's user-friendly with accessibility features like a larger mouse cursor, an on-screen keyboard, and easy app installations. I primarily use my PC for gaming and browsing, so I'm hoping to find a suitable option that fits.

Linux is quite good with accessibility! Mint has a built-in on-screen keyboard, and there are many options available. If you have specific needs, it might be worthwhile to look into those to ensure everything works with your hardware. Plus, I manage to use a gamepad for games, so that could be a workaround if you prefer.
Definitely check out Zorin with KDE or Fedora with KDE; they’ve got good accessibility options built in. For example, Zorin actually has a nice virtual keyboard available right away!
It really depends on the age of your computer. If it's older, you might need someone to help you access the BIOS to boot from a Linux USB stick. Once you get into the installer, you can usually turn on accessibility features like an on-screen keyboard easily. But on a newer machine, you should be able to navigate the BIOS with your mouse to set it up.
