Disabling it through assistive techs and synaptic package manager doesnt seem to be work or be an option. I've fully purged all packages assoc w orca b4 via a command. However, I dont recall the command nor which terminal i used. Any ideas?

Orca is probably included as part of the trisquel meta-package, so
removing it will remove everything else that's part of the system, like
Network Manager.

If there's an easier solution than manually installing each element the
trisquel meta-package one-by-one, besides Orca, please let me know!

found the solution I used last time (had to switch to googe):

As amenex and SuperTramp83 mentioned, the orca screen reader is useful for better widespread adoption of the Trisquel OS. Also, SuperTramp's recommendation of opening the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T is the default shortcut for Trisquel) and issuing

"sudo apt-get purge gnome-orca"

would be the most appropriate response to the OP's question. Using the Ctrl+S command does not remove the package (reasoning: if you are turning it off, it is unlikely you are going to use it at any point in the future). Along the same lines, issuing the "sudo apt-get remove gnome-orca" would also be less optimal because it will leave the orca configuration/preferences files.

The "sudo apt-get purge gnome-orca" command is the most straightforward and useful for those who never intend to use the orca screen reader.

It removes a lot.

I noticed. Orca can be installed back 'apt install orca'. 'apt autoremove' removes stuff that is no longer needed.

This is confusing.
