After many months of behind-the-scenes development and a series of new features and changes, AV Linux MX Edition (aka AVL-MXe) 23.1 'Enlightened' has been released. This release moves platforms from MX-21/Debian 11 'Bullseye' to MX-23/Debian 12 'Bookworm'. With the new platform comes a major move to the Enlightenment desktop environment (0.25.4) and a completely new audio system (PipeWire 1.0.0). Because of the sheer amount and depth of the changes, there is no repository upgrade path from AV Linux 21.3 and this new version will require a fresh install. The ISO image has grown to 5.2 GB since the last release. System highlights: MX-23/Debian 12 'Bookworm' base; Liquorix 6.6.9 Linux kernel; Enlightenment 0.25.4 desktop environment; PipeWire 1.0.0; choice of systemd or SysVInit (once installed); MX Tools and AV Linux utilities.
