Releases

Originally made with remastersys, new releases going forward are built on Debian-based distribution MX Linux.[3]

Currently supported releases

  • AV Linux MX Edition (AVL-MXe) 23.2 - ISO update that addresses a few bugs in the first release of AVL-MXe 23.1[10]
  • AV Linux Base 23.5 - "Greatest Hits"[11] released as a 'stripped down' (smaller download) and more of a daily driver distribution.[12] A version with new ideas and no commercial or demo software included.[1][13]
  • AV Linux MX Edition 25 - a 64-bit only release with some new Moksha modules and new EFL applications that have been ported over to Enlightenment. The supplemental AV Linux Packages are now in a separate 'BSRPKG' package.[14] This RC 1 is just the BASIC system.[15]

Reception

Debugpoint.com: "AV Linux 23.1 “Enlightened” truly offers a robust, stable, and versatile platform for audio and video production. With its strategic integration of MX Linux elements, a performance-driven kernel, and a massive collection of multimedia tools, AV Linux remains a top choice"[16]

Linuxiac: "AV Linux 23.1 'Enlightened' is a significant update, including MX-23/Debian 12 base, Enlightenment 0.25.4, and PipeWire 1.0.0."[17]

ZDNet: "For anyone who's looking to switch platforms and audio creation, such as music, podcasts, or even streaming games, is your primary goal, you could do a lot worse than use AV Linux MXe."[18]
