Where to Find the Latest AV Linux Release and ISO Downloads

The latest AV Linux release announced on bandshed.net is AV Linux and MX Moksha 25.2, which appears at the top of the site's Blog. To find it, open bandshed.net and read the Blog list from the newest post downward; the 25.2 announcement is the first entry. The same post also covers MX Moksha 25.2, since the two projects are released together. The Blog is the authoritative place to confirm the current version and to read what changed, but the excerpts shown on the Blog page do not include direct ISO download links — you reach the download information by opening the release post itself.

How the release posts are organized

The Blog lists announcements in reverse chronological order, so the newest release is always at the top. The visible entries on the page are:

Older posts continue under "Older posts" navigation, including AV Linux 23.1 "Enlightened," the AVL Drumkits Blonde Bop release, and the AVL-MXE 21.x ISO updates.

Distinguish a full release from an ISO refresh

This matters when you are deciding whether to download again. The 25.1 post states plainly that it is "not a new OS version, simply freshened up ISOs with updates and minor bugfixes," aimed at existing users. By contrast, the 25 post describes a release that followed "a long and laborious development period" and introduced two flavors of Enlightenment. The 25.2 post frames itself as a point release with substantial work behind it. So if you already run 25, check whether the newer post is a full version or an ISO refresh before assuming you need a new install.

What to expect from the 25.x line

The 25 announcement notes there are now two flavors of Enlightenment "for the E-curious," which is the main structural change in this series. The 23.5 "Greatest Hits" post describes a parallel release providing a stripped-down Base version of AVL — useful context if you want a lighter install rather than the full edition. The site's own description covers Linux audio and Linux video work, and the release history reflects that focus, including audio content such as the AVL Drumkits libraries and LV2 plugins.

Practical steps to get the current ISO

1. Go to bandshed.net and locate the Blog section.
2. Open the top post, "AV Linux and MX Moksha 25.2 Released!"
3. Read the post body for the download location and any notes on which edition (AV Linux or MX Moksha) you want.
4. If you are already on 25.x, compare the post's description against your installed version to decide whether an ISO refresh is worth the download.

The Blog excerpts do not state pricing, licensing terms, or whether downloads require an account, so confirm those details on the release post or linked download page rather than assuming.
