Bodhi Linux introduction

Do you know what Bodhi means? The meaning is wisdom and enlightenment. And it comes from Buddhism (BohdiDay is a Budha’s Enlightenment Day). In this article, you will find a basic introduction to Bodhi Linux and useful links.

Bodhi Linux system introduction

Version 6.0 is the Enlightened Linux distribution, and it uses Ubuntu LTS 20.04. This operating system features the Moksha Desktop for your system window management. This desktop was created for minimalism, resource efficiency, and your choice.

Moksha is the natural and best choice for usage in Bodhi Linux. Why? Because it fits in perfectly with two of the most important system ideas:

  • Minimalism because it will run on less than 100 MB of RAM memory. Moksha is one of the most elegant Window Managers. And it is highly extensible using modules.
  • User Choice because you can make your system look and work the way you want.

How does Bodhi Linux look?

I have put basic info into the presentation. From this presentation, you will learn:

  • What features it has (for example: software center, basic system settings).
  • What selected programs look like (for example: LibreOffice Writer and Calc).
  • What Google Workspace looks like (for example Google Meet).
  • What Microsoft 365 looks like (for example Microsoft Teams).
