None of the extra 'bulk' in AV Linux affects performance, it is still light and efficient to use. Hundreds of hidden Audio Plugins are included, many are fairly large in size. AV Linux ships with a full development environment for developers and experienced users. Two versions of 'Wine' are required, one for Audio Plugins and one for Pipelight. 'Bundled' apps that are self-contained are much larger than apps that use the system libraries. AV Linux uses a more relaxed ratio for it's compressed Live filesystem than mainline Distros.

Bear in mind that you are reading this statement in a complete User Manual and can voice your concerns in an Online User Forum, so please let's just mutually understand that I like doing this, I want to do this, but 'real life' may intervene and I may occasionally need to keep my focus elsewhere and therefore I can't in good conscience make any promises about the permanence of AV Linux. The implications of this are that AV Linux is provided 'as-is' with absolutely NO guarantee of any kind to function on any given computer, or any guarantee of regular, sustained or future development. It is NOT intended to be a bona-fide full and proper Linux Distribution, as its sole maintainer I have no special training or any credentials as a Linux System Administrator and am merely doing this in my spare time as a hobby. It is really intended to just be that simple, an AV production system prepared and shared by a single user with some practical experience in setting such things up.
