The distribution kit AV Linux MX Edition 2021.05.22 is presented, containing a selection of applications for creating/processing multimedia content. The distribution is based on the MX Linux package base, using the Debian repositories with improvements from the antiX project and its own applications that make it easy to configure and install software. AV Linux also uses the KXStudio repositories with a collection of audio processing applications and self-built additional packages (Polyphone, Shuriken, Simple Screen Recorder, etc.). The distribution can function in Live mode and is available for the i386 (3.2 GB) and x86_64 (3.7 GB) architectures.
The Linux kernel comes with a set of RT patches to increase system responsiveness during audio processing work. The user environment is based on Xfce4 with the OpenBox window manager instead of xfwm. The package includes Ardour, ArdourVST, Harrison, Mixbus sound editors, Blender 3D design system, Cinelerra, Openshot, LiVES video editors and tools for converting multimedia file formats. The JACK Audio Connection Kit is offered for switching audio devices (using JACK1/Qjackctl, not JACK2/Cadence). The distribution comes with a detailed illustrated manual (PDF, 72 pages)
