This is an ISO image update to AV Linux MX edition that addresses a few annoying and potentially show-stopping bugs that appeared in the first release of AVL-MXe 23.1. Obviously the jump to a new Debian platform ('Bookworm'), a completely new desktop environment (Enlightenment) and a whole new way of handling system audio(PipeWire) was bound to scare a few new bugs out of the woodwork and boy did it ever. Hopefully this ISO will help people get off to a better start with these various new features. Don't fade backlight is now set by default which should fix Enlightenment setting the backlight to 0 which was making the lightDM login screen invisible after installing AVL-MXe to hard disk and booting it with its default of SysVInit (systemd boot recommended). A shortcut to change the keyboard layout for Enlightenment to use is now easily found on the main panel.
