AV Linux
AV Linux is a Linux-based operating system specifically designed to cater to the needs of multimedia content creators. It is tailored for compatibility with the i386 and x86-64 architectures and boasts a customized kernel optimized to deliver exceptional performance and low-latency audio production capabilities. Notably, AV Linux has received recognition as a recommended and supported Linux platform for Harrison Mixbus, a popular digital audio workstation software. Environment Originally made with remastersys, AV Linux is built on top of MX Linux. Versions before, and including, version 6 were 32-bit only, running a 32-bit Linux kernel with the IRQ threading and rtirq-init patches activated by default. For computers with more than 4 GB of RAM, a PAE version was made available. From AV Linux 2016 onward, there are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions available. as of version 6.0.2, Window management is handled by the Xfce Desktop Environment. While previous versions used t ...

Lxde
LXDE (abbreviation for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) is a free desktop environment with comparatively low resource requirements. This makes it especially suitable for use on older or resource-constrained personal computers such as netbooks or system on a chip computers. Overview LXDE is written in the C programming language, using the GTK 2 toolkit, and runs on Unix and other POSIX-compliant platforms, such as Linux and BSDs. The LXDE project aims to provide a fast and energy-efficient desktop environment. In 2010, tests suggested that LXDE 0.5 had the lowest memory-usage of the four most-popular desktop environments of the time (the others being GNOME 2.29, KDE Plasma Desktop 4.4, and Xfce 4.6), and that it consumed less energy, which suggests mobile computers with Linux distributions running LXDE 0.5 drained their batteries at a slower pace than those with other desktop environments. LXDE uses rolling releases for its individual components (or for groups of comp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Shotwell (software)
Shotwell is an image organizer designed to provide personal photo management for the GNOME desktop environment. In 2010, it replaced F-Spot as the standard image tool for several GNOME-based Linux distributions, including Fedora in version 13 and Ubuntu in its 10.10 Maverick Meerkat release. Features Shotwell can import photos and videos from a digital camera directly. Shotwell automatically groups photos and videos by date, and supports tagging. Its image editing features allow users to straighten, crop, eliminate red eye, and adjust levels and color balance. It also features an auto "enhance" option that will attempt to guess appropriate levels for the image. Shotwell allows users to publish their images and videos to Flickr, Piwigo, and YouTube. Shotwell can also set the desktop wallpaper. Technical information The Yorba Foundation wrote Shotwell in the Vala programming language. It imports photos using the libgphoto2 library, similar to other image-organizers such as F-S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Inkscape
Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor used to create vector images, primarily in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. Other formats can be imported and exported. Inkscape can render primitive vector shapes (e.g. rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and 3D boxes) and text. These objects may be filled with solid colors, patterns, radial or linear color gradients and their borders may be stroked, both with adjustable transparency. Embedding and optional tracing of raster graphics is also supported, enabling the editor to create vector graphics from photos and other raster sources. Created shapes can be further manipulated with transformations, such as moving, rotating, scaling and skewing. History Inkscape began in 2003 as a code fork of the Sodipodi project. Sodipodi, developed since 1999, was itself based on Raph Levien's Gill (GNOME Illustration Application). One of the main priorities of the Inkscape project was interface consistency an ...

GIMP
GIMP ( ; GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image manipulation (retouching) and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks. It is not designed to be used for drawing, though some artists and creators have used it for such. GIMP is released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license and is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. History In 1995, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis began developing GIMP – originally named ''General Image Manipulation Program –'' as a semester-long project at the University of California, Berkeley for the eXperimental Computing Facility''.'' The acronym was coined first, with the letter ''G'' being added to ''-IMP'' as a reference to "the gimp" in the scene from the 1994 ''Pulp Fiction'' film. In 1996 was the initial public release of GIMP (0.54). The editor was quickly adopted and a community of contributors formed. ...

Hydrogen (software)
Hydrogen is an open source drum machine created by Alessandro Cominu, an Italian programmer who goes by the pseudonym Comix. Its main goal is to provide professional yet simple and intuitive pattern-based drum programming. Hydrogen was originally developed for Linux, and later ported to Mac OS X. Support for Microsoft Windows seemed to have been abandoned, since the last build dated to 2006 for 4 years. However, a Windows port exists since the 0.9.6 version, and it is now in beta stage. The graphical user interface for the application uses Qt library, and all code is released under GPL-2.0-or-later. Features These are some of the features of Hydrogen: * Pattern-based sequencer, with unlimited number of patterns and ability to chain patterns into a song. * 192 ticks per whole note with individual level per event and variable pattern length. * Unlimited instrument tracks with volume, mute, solo, pan capabilities. * Multi-layer support for instruments (up to 16 samples for each ...

Calf Studio Gear
Calf Studio Gear, often referred to as Calf Plugins, is a set of open source LV2 plugins for the Linux platform. The suite intends to be a complete set of plugins for audio mixing, virtual instruments and mastering. As of version 0.90.0 there are 47 plugins in the suite. History Calf Studio Gear development started in late 2007 when the LV2 plugin standard was in its infancy. Calf Studio Gear was one of the first projects to bring graphical audio plugins to Linux. The first versions up to 0.0.19 included support for LADSPA and DSSI as well which was dropped in December 2011. The project was initiated by Krzysztof Foltman. In 2009 Markus Schmidt became interested in development of the plugin suite due to his frustration with proprietary software. He has been a driving force behind the plugins ever since and has been responsible for the overall design of Calf Studio Gear, as well as being the brains behind the DSP of many of its plugins. Included plugins Calf Studio Gear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
