AV Linux MX-23.2, distribution for creating audio and video content, published

The AV Linux 23.2 distribution kit has been released, containing a selection of applications for creating/processing multimedia content. The distribution is based on the MX Linux package base and the KXStudio repository with a collection of applications for audio processing and additional proprietary packages (Polyphone, Shuriken, Simple Screen Recorder, etc.). The distribution can operate in Live mode and is available for the x86_64 architecture (5.4 GB).

The Linux kernel in AV Linux comes with a set of Liquorix patches to improve system responsiveness during audio processing work. Enlightenment is supplied as a custom environment. The package includes sound editors Ardour, ArdourVST, Harrison, Mixbus, the 3D design system Blender, video editors Cinelerra, Openshot, LiVES and tools for converting multimedia file formats. During installation you have the choice of using sysvinit or systemd. The distribution kit is equipped with a detailed illustrated manual (PDF, 72 pages)

In the new release:

• Fixed issues that surfaced after upgrading the package base to MX-23 and Debian 12 in the last release, replacing Xfce with Enlightenment 0.25.4, and enabling the PipeWire media server by default.
• By default, the setting is set to disable the gradual fading of the screen backlight (solved the problem with displaying the login screen at boot using sysvinit instead of systemd).
• The panel contains a shortcut for changing the keyboard layout. Includes 60 locales for various languages ​​(non-English users no longer need to manually install locales).
• Added settings for changing focus when you click on a window and limiting the window from moving off the edge of the screen.
• Work has been done to use AV Linux-specific icons in native applications, the interface for selecting processor programs in Thunar, and on the MX-Welcome screen. Added a simple interface for WineASIO.
• An additional CMST graphical interface has been added for configuring network connections using Connman, which can be used if the capabilities of the standard Enlightenment Connection configurator are not enough.
• Added a configurator for the printing system.
• Added shortcut for playing audio CDs using MPV.
