The Linux kernel comes with a set of RT patches to increase system responsiveness during audio processing. The user environment is based on Xfce4 with the OpenBox window manager instead of xfwm.

The package includes audio editors Ardor, ArdourVST, Harrison, Mixbus, Blender, andCinelerra, Openshot, LiVES video editors and tools to convert multimedia file formats. To change the audio device, the JACK audio connection kit is provided (using JACK1 / Qjackctl, not JACK2 / Cadence).
