Lumiera
The new emerging NLE for GNU/Linux

Development Version

Lumiera is currently under active development.
We are in a pre-alpha stage, meaning that the software is not usable yet.

However, we have an early GUI draft in place which might give a feel for what the interface could look like. It is available for end-user experimentation now, but usually you need to build it first.

Lumiera Debian package

Some of the Lumiera core developers use Debian/stable (Trixie) as a reference system for development. This has the pleasant side effect of allowing us to provide Debian packages to reflect ongoing development. Since Ubuntu is based on Debian, we provide packaging for some Ubuntu distributions as well.

While Lumiera does not yet offer any usable features, it can already be installed via Debian packaging mechanisms. We prepare pre-releases and build packages in containers to rehearse the release mechanisms. Thus, if you happen to use a Debian/stable based system (Doh!), or a suitable flavour of Ubutu, you might be able to try out our DEB depot for the Apt package manager of Debian. Please be sure to report any broken dependencies and installation problems.

Build it, try it…
