yahoo!tech: "While AV Linux includes plenty of video tools (well look at these more in depth later on), various aspects of the project make it clear that it's meant more for audio production." 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" 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." 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." 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."
