*KNOWN ISSUES
-KPTI will introduce a performance hit, it's debatable how much it will impact Audio work but it does have an impact.
*KPTI can be disabled which will restore performance but leave your machine vulnerable to the 'Meltdown' exploit.
-Booting is slower on UEFI computers and getting to login takes longer.
-A recent update of Unetbootin no longer works to create bootable LiveUSB Keys of AV Linux 2018.
-AV Linux contains a new AV Linux DD LiveUSB Writer to write LiveUSB Keys with DD
-For those on other Deb-based Distros this is packaged here:
http://www.bandshed.net/packages/avl2us ... -1_all.deb
-Otherwise writing to USB Key with DD from commandline will also work.
*NOT SO FAST!!
If you're new to AV Linux or Linux Audio in general you NEED to RTFM!

*PLEASE DONATE IF YOU CAN...
The documentation for AV Linux alone is a time investment of many hours not to mention curating an entire OS that is convenient to use and ready for professional grade Audio and Video production at your fingertips. My sincere and heartfelt thanks to those who have already donated and supported the project. It is my own choice to share my time and efforts on making AV Linux available but I think in the bigger picture communities work best when when there is engagement by both sides. I would also ask that that people consider donating to falkTX's KXStudio project which has greatly enriched not only AV Linux but also all Debian/Ubuntu derivatives..
Please consider hitting the yellow Paypal button on the AV Linux website, ANY amount is welcomed and appreciated thanks!
