Thor. Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I found a Linux distro that even Thor might like, Audiophile Linux. Me and my wife (still didn't get used to saying that) decided to use it for the multimedia PC I'm building. It uses Linux Mint Debian as base with lightweight XFCE and Fluxbox desktop environments. It features a large amount of audio codecs and media players, ALSA combined with PulseAudio for sound processing, has bit-perfect audio and it's built on a real-time Linux 3.6.10 kernel. It's sole purpose - reproduction of high-quality audio and video. Hooked it up to my 4x200W stereo, dat sound... And of course, it looks bloody awesome. :yes:Bass IS energy! http://www.chatworld.de/cw/emonics/smiley_rock.gifSounds like a awesome distro for making a Htpc with, media centre. May have to use the 64bit version though ;D Edited May 15, 2013 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werne Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) May have to use the 64bit version though ;DYou mean because of having more than 4GB RAM? A 32-bit Linux kernel can handle up to 256GB RAM (or was it 128?) once recompiled. I had to recompile it on my multimedia PC, now it uses all 8GB of RAM I got for that thing. :thumbsup: Sometimes I think I should get better parts for my own PC, but ain't nobody got time for that.

Thor. Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Now better stability in general, runs cleaner, faster and so on.Even when it comes to gpu drivers you get a 10fps difference between the 64bit version and the 32bit version.
