The multimedia content-creation focus AV Linux has provided since 2008 is now combined with the powerful versatility of MX Linux! AV Linux MX Edition (AVL-MXe) comes with a high-performance Liquorix Kernel and the beautiful and efficient Enlightenment Desktop Environment. In addition are a whole host of useful tools including the venerable 'MX-Tools' paired with the convenience of specialized custom utilities. This system is tuned out of the box for fast low-latency Audio performance, seamless PipeWire integration and optional support for Windows Audio and Plugin applications through Wine-Staging and yabridge. Currently AV Linux MX Edition is recognized by MX Linux and utilizes its Build tools and Packaging but is not an official MX Linux product.

YunoHost is an operating system aiming to simplify server administration and therefore democratize self-hosting while making sure it stays reliable, secure, ethical and lightweight. It is a copylefted libre software project maintained exclusively by volunteers. Technically, it can be seen as a distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux and can be installed on many kinds of hardware.

• Based on Debian, for a trustworthy & familiar base
• Administer your server through a friendly web interface as well as a handy CLI
• Deploy apps in just a few clicks from our more than 500 apps catalog!
• Manage users (based on LDAP)
• Manage domain names
• Create and restore backups
• Connect to all apps simultaneously through the user portal (NGINX, SSOwat)
• Includes a full e-mail stack (Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, DKIM)
• As well as an instant messaging server (XMPP)
• Manages SSL certificates (based on Let's Encrypt)
• Also security systems (fail2ban, yunohost-firewall).

What YunoHost is not?
Even if YunoHost can handle multiple domains and multiple users, it is not meant to be a mutualized system.

First, the software is too young, not tested at scale and thus probably not optimized well enough for hundreds of users at the same time. With that said, we do not want to lead the software in that direction. Virtualization democratizes, and its usage is recommended since it is a more watertight way to achieve mutualization than a "full-stack" system like YunoHost.

You can host your friends, your family and your company safely and with ease, but you must trust your users, and they must trust you above all. If you want to provide YunoHost services for unknown persons anyway, a full VPS per user will be just fine, and we believe a better way to go.

Linux Mint is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions and used by millions of people.

It is one of the best alternatives to Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS.

Purpose
The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use.

Some of the reasons for the success of Linux Mint are:

• It works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use.
• It's both free of cost and open source.
• It's community-driven. Users are encouraged to send feedback to the project so that their ideas can be used to improve Linux Mint.
• Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers.
• It's safe and reliable—thanks to conservative software updates, a unique Update Manager, and its robust Linux architecture.
• Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware...etc).
