Bodhi has a smaller team of developers than many mainstream Distros, but, from what I can tell, they seem to be growing. That should increase their updates and features, in theory at least. | Bodhi has a smaller team of developers than many mainstream Distros, but, from what I can tell, they seem to be growing.

- | Their windows manager is called moksha desktop [their own make or fork of enlightenment 17, as the team didn’t like the changes put forth in E-18]. Reading their website, it seems they consider Moksha as part windows manager and part desktop environment [DE]. The idea here seems to be simplicity. That is good for older hardware, but I found it a little too simple, restrictive almost. | + | Their windows manager is called moksha desktop [their own make or fork of enlightenment 17, as the team didn’t like the changes put forth in E-18].

After digging around, I found it and enabled my wifi; yet once I got the chip “on”, I still had to manually give it my network name as it didn’t scan or show any local networks [there are many networks in and near my house]. | After digging around, I found it and enabled my wifi; yet once I got the chip “on”, I still had to manually give it my network name as it didn’t scan or show any local networks [there are many networks in and near my house]. | ||

- | Let’s go back to the settings manager for a moment. As I said, it was scattered, clunky even. Most settings use a vertical hierarchy. You see a category, then under that are settings applicable to said category, then under that is the next category. Moksha used a horizontal setup for each category, and a vertical for things in said category. | + | Let’s go back to the settings manager for a moment. As I said, it was scattered, clunky even.

- | The real issue I found was some categories seemed to make no sense. Even worse, some options in categories made little sense. After tinkering and searching DuckDuckGo, I found answers, but why not call a dock a dock, or even taskbar, like most other Distros do? They call it a “shelf” which is fine – they want something all their own– but I feel they should have kept some things with convention for new users. | + | J'ai dû chercher les paramètres pour activer mon WiFi.

- | Okay, so my worst complaints are now done, let’s talk about some of the good points, shall we? The default theme is easy on the eyes and looks really slick! The colors compliment each other nicely, and the look and feel flows together very well! Moksha has “built in” compositing which allows for fancy, smooth graphics and looks – while still being light on resources. They really did a nice job with this department, as good as LXQT has done [see my Lubuntu review for my thoughts on that]. | + | Okay, so my worst complaints are now done, let’s talk about some of the good points, shall we?

- | I mentioned how Bodhi is “light on resources”. Out of my 5 reviews thus far, Bodhi comes in 1st place for resource use. I tried to lock it up, opening various apps at the same time, playing music in my browser, moving my mouse, etc. Yet it was hard to get it to lock up. Hard but not impossible. Playing media put a little drag, but then again that is no real surprise. Opening photos and ODTs and PDFs, and launching my browser, caused no discernible lag.

+ | **A nice feature is the left-click menu on the desktop. It’s powerful! The initial options are standard, but the nicest aspect is the favorites menu that gets populated as you use apps. To pull up that menu, you use a left-click instead of right. That provides a quick-launch functionality for your most-used apps. If you are using an external mouse, and if you center-click [click the mouse wheel], it pulls up a windows menu. So three menus in one – sort of. Nicely done indeed! | ||

Being built on Ubuntu, which is built on Debian, Bodhi uses the “apt” package manager. Their AppCenter didn’t impress me. But there was also Synaptic and of course the command line! Snap and Flatpak support can be easily enabled as well. | Being built on Ubuntu, which is built on Debian, Bodhi uses the “apt” package manager. Their AppCenter didn’t impress me.

While there were things that I really didn’t like in Bodhi, overall I was okay with it. I can definitely tell what their goals are, and they are making progress towards said goals. If I had old hardware, and or a 32-bit machine, I would consider Bodhi. On more modern hardware though, I probably would give it a pass in favor of a more mature Distro, with more options. That being said, it’s not a bad Distro by any means. It is eloquent and resource friendly, which are both good things! | While there were things that I really didn’t like in Bodhi, overall I was okay with it.
