Bodhi Linux Overview

Bodhi Linux
Bodhi Linux is a light weight Linux distribution based on Ubuntu that uses an Enlightenment DR17 based fork called Moksha as its desktop environment. The philosophy of the distribution is to provide, a minimal base system so that user can install  the software he/she prefers.
Hence, the distribution includes, only the software that is essential for regular use, such as a File Manager, a Terminal Emulator and a Web Browser. Bodhi Linux developers maintain a browser based application store with apturl tool to install programs.     

 I was a fan of Enlightenment desktop but never used Bhodhi as daily driver.
Bhodhi is the Buddhist Concept of spiritual attainment, of non-attachment and non-entanglement and this distribution violates that concept.
Elive is a better option for Enlightenment desktop experience. Its latest Image can be run on a USB as a persistent volume. This persistent volume comes from Puppy Linux and EasyOS version 6 series run as persistent volume. As far as my testing goes, EasyOS (it is IGB),   is the only distribution that can fill the remaining part of the USB with a Ext4 partition for regular use.
Bodhi is single user and works on root level and that is not to my liking.
I always have a not privileged user account.
 It lets one remove Firefox and install Vivaldi, Opera and Brave. How ever without installing Firefox on cannot install Waterfox.
In any case to promote Enlightenment Desktop I keep it in my NUC system as a minimal desktop environment. However, one can install Enlightenment desktop on top of Gnome but I prefer the Modern, Elive desktop with fantastic desktop effects.
Importantly no LibreOffice and got AbiWord installed.
I have not tried Bodhi Linux after 32 bit days. Modern version 7.00 is fantastic with minimal applications. It is based on Ubuntu and has Synaptic Package Manager.
Yes I have tried to install it my NUC. It Froze and could not mount my 26 odd Ext partitions. Tried it again and waited patiently and it mounted the hard disk. It is in final stage of installation and I love the old Ubuntu installation style which I have gone through 100 of times or more.
Well I got to distribution with Enlightenment desktop Installed. If one is a Buddhist this is the Linux distribution one should try. I think Buddhist monks would love this Mokha Desktop.
Took about 600MB of my 8GB RAM but 1GB with Firefox. 591MB of my hard disk. However the installation was very slow.
Yes it stands up to its claim of light weight and energy saving and not resource hungry.
Bodhi Linux Overview
A minimalist, enlightened Linux distribution
Bodhi is a minimalist, enlightened, Linux desktop.
Bodhi Linux is extremely lightweight and highly customizable.
Bodhi is suitable for both Linux newcomers and experienced users.
 

The use of Ubuntu base might be a tragedy for Bodhi Linux since Ubuntu is moving away from supporting it unless one pays them a monthly fee.
