What is Bodhi Linux?

Bodhi Linux is an operating system that is an Ubuntu-based, light-weight Linux distribution O.S that uses the Moksha window manager. The distribution principle of the Bodhi Linux is designed in a way that it should have a minimum base structure so that the persons who are going to be its prime user can populate it with the applications as per their desire.

So, the Bodhi Linux Operating system contains only applications that most Linux users require while they are using the interface of the Linux which basically includes a file browser (PCManFM), a web browser (ap per Linux GNOME Web) and a terminal.

The Bodhi Linux Operating System does not contain software or features that are considered unnecessary by its developers and user are not likely to use it but if they want to add any of the feature, they can always include it.

Bodhi Linux Operating System developers always maintain an online database of lightweight software so that they can make the installation of the software of the in the system simple, which can be installed with only one click via the apturl.

Also, when there was an addition in the Bodhi Linux operating system for Intel-compatible processors, then there was a release of the alpha version. This alpha version was specially based on Debian operating system for tablets and they were also included with the ARM processors. This was done because of the amount of time that was required by it to keep it up to date.

Performance

Device specifications include 256 MB of RAM, 4 GB of hard disc space and a processor of 500 MHz. 32-bit processors with no PAE functionality are provided under the same conditions as PAE-enabled processors. The only difference that the Bodhi Linux is having is that of the Kernel version or older kernel version.

The Bodhi Linux operating system offers a very rich desktop effects and animations which is done without the help of any high-end hardware. In fact, it is done by the use of Enlightenment DR17-based fork which is known by the name of Moksha Desktop. According to Jeff Hoogland 's argument, the reason for forging the project from DR17 was due to its proven efficiency & functionality, while E19 had "optimizations that break existing features that users love and use."

The tools and the Enlightenment window manager that were developed specially for Bodhi Linux operating system were written in the famous Python programming language and the C programming language.

Support

The famous Bodhi Linux Operating system is derived from the long-term support updates of Ubuntu Operating System (14.04, 16.04, 18.04 ...), but there is a fact that it follows the same pattern of the version updates that were developed during the five-year cycle of the Ubuntu systems which consists of the security bug fixes that were published regularly. Bodhi does not have a short-term support release, unlike Ubuntu. You can update your installed Bodhi Linux to the latest state through a command line or a package manager.

Release cycle

The releases are x.y.z numbered, where

• x reflects a substantial release,
• y reflects the release of an update (or point) and
• z is the release of a bug patch.

The major update (x.y.z; e.g. version 2.y.z > 3.0.0) continues the long-term support of Ubuntu with a few months' delay. After the new Ubuntu LTS, which is scheduled in April, the aim is to produce a new major release every other year in July. New features are not added after the update.

A New Bodhi Linux Operating system version was released on February 2015 which was an extra legacy version for the older hardware of the Bodhi Linux and it was named as Bodhi Linux 3.0.0.

The same version patten were used more often to introduce new versions of software and other enhancements that are not security-related.

Starting with version 2.4.0, the frequency of updates is reduced to three times a year. A new update should come out every four months-in January, May and September for now. A little late in mid-September, when [it was] ready, Bodhi Linux 2.4.0 (scheduled for release in August 2013) appeared. The release of a bug fix (x.y.z; e.g. version 2.4.0 > 2.4.1) is intended to correct default configuration errors.
