What I would do: compile a list of things that people complained about, eliminate trolling and stupid commends and then go down the list and try to fix what can be fixed then post a test, "Beta" or "RC" and let people bang on it for a bit before you release.
Good advice that I have no argument for, other than limited time (which plagues most Linux projects, thank God my partner is understanding..) and my upload speeds are still quite terrible and AVL is a big ISO, but a good reminder for sure especially for a release with an unprecedented amount of changes.. As always I am extremely indebted to you guys on the dev team, I will work harder and make you proud I promise!
posted scathing reviews in various places (ie Distrowatch) and not bothered to ask for specific help or clearly identify what the actual observed issues were
I saw that on Monday Jesse does have that, this leaning on the cynical it's the users comment that shine a good light on your works, maybe a few words over there from you wouldn't hurt. ? .
Hi!
FWIW I posted a comment (38) on the review, hopefully will shed some light on the 'darkness' (backlight darkness that is...)
I am very satisfied with this new version. Of course, there have been some small problems, but they have been solved. This has been a big change, but a good one. Of course, things always get better with time. Thanks to Glen for this. I'm thankful.
On the weekend, song writing again and mixing work throughout the week. All with this new cool version. AVL-MXe 23.1 “Enlightened"

Thanks, that is appreciated! Look forward to hearing your new work!
Mentioned in a couple of places were that changes to the Live session were not carried through into the installed system (this is not a feature I've used personally) I've had my people reach out to the installer people and will look into it..

Did they even select that checkbox? We'd need the minstall.log to have an idea what happened...
While it may seem like I am being a kiss-butt, I assure I am not... Had to put that disclaimer out there first lol! Glen, sir,? You have been a dream come true for this guy down here in the USA! I have been in love with Enlightenment WM and Linux and the possibility of someday making music in Linux a viable dream waaaay back in 1999 and 2000 when I was first introduced to this "Xwindows" and Linux, the Penguin OS, and I gotta tell ya.. You made that dream come TRUEEEE!!!! I can tell you that I did not even put my suggestion of using E as the main desktop with your AVL-MXE and yet here we are! LOL! I did use E16 with your 2020 editions that I hacked to death for my enjoyment and I was gonna make a respin that used E16/17 as the default desktops for AVL-MXE but you beat me to it with the MX-EFL series you released a while back and I do remember commenting on that as well. While it is not ME that made AVL or AVL-MXE, I gotta tell ya, I was hurt when I heard that your gracious work was being bad mouthed and complained about so much.. Your rant on this subject line here? I felt your frustration.. All that to say, THANKYOU!!!! ....
THANKYOU.. And... thankyou.
Oh, oops, O almost forgot.. suggestions or improvements right: Since you are using E as the desktop and EFL as the widget set, hows about Entrance login manager which is still available both at Enlightenment.org and a precompiled binary is available from Elive Enlightenment OS distro(It hurt and felt good to say that lol, as I came up with this idea for a E centric distro or OS back in 2001-2003 but did not know enough to make it happen myself). I used Entrance in SOAD Linux and it was sooo perty! I tried it on MX too but qt5 to gtk theming seems to break when I used it so I had to revert to lightDM.. Still on standby for a solution as I did post a topic on that here a while back.
The other suggestion would be to just make the custom packages for your lovely distro available to download should we need them as I again asked you a while back too. Other than that? You got this!!!
Being bad-mouthed or complained about goes with the territory and I can take that just fine if I'm at least given a description of the problem and an opportunity to fix it..
As far as Entrance it is reportedly buggy (at least the Arch E Wiki says so) and if it's buggy and not in the actual Debian or MX Repos I'm afraid I'm not too interested, I already have annoyed enough people with things that don't work like they expect...
If I remember right the "vanilla" Enlightenment goes through a "customizing Dialog" when started for the first time. Maybe this would be a neat feature for one of the future releases of AVLinux with it being adapted in some sort.
