The new AVLinux distro is out in the wilds :hyper:

https://www.bandshed.net/avlinux/ AVLinux makes use of debian MX Linux, whose maintainers have a deep biography developing linux distros over the years.

There is also a new release of the AVL distro based on the Moksha desktop environment, very friendly for computers that don't do double-duty as central heating appliances :scared: :wink:
Moksha emerged from the Enlightenment desktop community, and is usually seen in Bodhi linux systems.

Here is an interesting new article about Linux that is worth talking about:

Why people keep flocking to Linux in 2025 (and it's not just to escape Windows)

JUCE is going to increase support Embedded and Linux!?! This will be huge and I totally missed it. I know there was somewhat support in Linux from Juice but I didn't know Abelton Move was a Rasberry Pi wit Linux.....


Improved Embedded Device Support
In successive JUCE releases we have improved the GUI rendering performance on both macOS/iOS and Windows, and we're now turning our attention to embedded platforms and Linux. JUCE is used in flagship hardware products and the ability to render increasingly complex UIs more efficiently is becoming more important.

Bitwig is my DAWs and UHe and Tracktion Synths are my Bae. I maybe buy one synth a year. REMEMBER SELF just one synth a year!

Does JUCE have a Rust interface?

There is this:


and also projects such as:
https://github.com/madskjeldgaard/Cookiejuce
https://github.com/jameshallowell/cxx-juce

I'm not sure there's anything official, although it would be nice.

The Rust people are really everywhere. Thanks for the links.

I know that I’m “speaking to the choir” by posting this here, but some may not know this, and those investigating Linux may find it comforting to learn that the terminal or command line is not needed as much as it used to be, in order to use Linux. Linux keeps getting easier and easier to use:

And not one of them involves setting up Pipewire for music production, I wonder why?

The article comes from a mainstream Linux site, not from an audio site. Pipewire for audio production is more a niche thing. Yet, even there, there are already nearly a dozen GUI tools for adjusting bit rate, sample rate, quantum, etc, etc. it’s easier in that area too. :)
