From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For daily driving I use MX, which is a flavor of Debian.
I seem to remember MX being geared towards music production?
You might be recalling a different distro. MX is marketed as a "mid-weight" general use distro. The interesting thing about it is that its an attempt at sort-of pseudo "rolling release" Debian distro. I like it for that aspect, and then it's fairly easy for me to strip down and customize the way I want.
I heard AV Linux was built on MX…
