AV Linux is a Linux-based operating system specifically designed to cater to the needs of multimedia content creators. It is tailored for compatibility with the i386 and x86-64 architectures and boasts a customized kernel optimized to deliver exceptional performance and low-latency audio production capabilities. Notably, AV Linux has received recognition as a recommended and supported Linux platform for Harrison Mixbus, a popular digital audio workstation software.[1]

Environment

Originally made with remastersys, AV Linux is built on top of MX Linux.

Versions before, and including, version 6 were 32-bit only, running a 32-bit Linux kernel with the IRQ threading and rtirq-init patches activated by default. For computers with more than 4 GB of RAM, a PAE version was made available.

From AV Linux 2016 onward, there are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions available.

as of version 6.0.2, Window management is handled by the Xfce Desktop Environment. While previous versions used the LXDE Desktop Environment.

It is possible to boot AV Linux from either a live CD or a hard drive. Advanced Audio playback and routing is handled by JACK, while ALSA is used for basic audio operation.

Software

AV Linux is bundled with software for both everyday use and media production.

AV Linux 2016 derives its software packages from the KXStudio repositories,[2]which are compatible with Debian and, therefore, AV Linux. This approach reduces duplication of effort and allows developers to focus on creating a solid base distribution that is suitable for audio production. Consequently, the development of AV Linux 2016 has prioritized the improvement of the base distribution rather than bundling it with a large amount of software, as it did with previous versions. Instead, the 2016 edition leaves the decision of what to install from the vast KXStudio software repository to the users.

Audio

Preinstalled audio software includes: Ardour, Audacity, Calf Studio Gear, Carla, Guitarix, Hydrogen and MuseScore.

Graphics

Preinstalled graphics programs include: GIMP, Inkscape and Shotwell.

Video

Preinstalled software for video editing, playback, capture and 3D animation include: Blender, Cinelerra, Kdenlive and Openshot.

Everyday use

For typical day-to-day activities there are several programs available including Firefox and LibreOffice Suite.

Manual

A Manual[3] was provided by the maintainer of AV Linux, Glen MacArthur,[4] This manual provides users with "84 illustrated pages of FAQ’s and important Operational details".

Reception

LinuxInsider: "The modified (Xfce) menus add a big element of ease to finding your most frequently used apps. The menu hierarchy uses a two-tiered design. This drastically cuts down on the need to rummage through long cascading menu lists"[5]

LinuxJournal: "AV Linux Control Panel... provides easy access to tools and utilities for system management, administration, and customization. Its amenities include an installer for ATI/nVidia binary video drivers and a very useful tool that scans and analyzes your system for its readiness for realtime performance."[6]

ZDNet: "Everything in AV Linux is aimed at reducing the operating system overhead, and leaving as much of the processing power as possible available for the multimedia editing applications."[7][8]

Softpedia Linux: "As mentioned before, the distribution provides users with a large collection of video and audio production software, ranging from simple audio and video players to sophisticated video editors and CD rippers. Additionally, it comes with a patched Linux kernel package that allows for low-latency audio performance. The Live DVD can be used as-is or installed on a local disk drive."[9]

Also review was written by InfoWorld.[10]
