14 DAY TRIAL // The developers of the AV Linux free and open-source GNU/Linux operating system targeted at audio and video creation released a new version to celebrate his 50th anniversary and also add various improvements to the OS.
AV Linux 2018.6.25 is the latest version of the GNU/Linux distribution, shipping with various performance improvements for systems with recent AMD Radeon graphics cards and UEFI machines. UEFI support was introduced back in April 2018 with the AV Linux 2018.4.12 release, but it also brought slow booting, which were addressed in this release.
“I personally have no UEFI (or AMD) computers to test with and only could use VirtualBox for UEFI testing and thanks to bug reports from a few users and several fixes provided by our forum member ‘korakios’ I think many of the issues for actual hardware UEFI machines have now been addressed,” said the developer in the release notes.
Now using the Linux 4.16 kernel with full RT Preempt
The AV Linux 2018.6.25 release is powered by the Linux 4.16 kernel, which features full RT Preempt and support for newer AMD Radeon GPUs. This release also adds LV2 Audio Plugins to the Cinelerra 5.1 video editing software, updates the LSP Plugins to version 1.1.2, as well as the AV Linux User Manual with relevant information.
UEFI and UNetbootin boot should no longer fail due to missing FAT32 ASCII modules, and VirtualBox Guest Additions are now automatically removed on non-VirtualBox installs. Moreover, AV Linux 2018.6.25 clean up the wrong menu entry of ZynAddSubFX JACK multi. You can download AV Linux 2018.6.25 right now through our web portal for new installations, but existing users should update their systems using the built-in update system.
