Quick FAQ



Many new users to Bodhi seem to have the same questions, so here are the answers to a few of them:

What is Bodhi Linux?

Bodhi Linux is a Linux based operating system built on top of Ubuntu Long Term Support releases. Our goal is to provide a stable, but minimalistic operating system that can stay out of the user's way. We have a new major release every 2~ years when a new Ubuntu LTS releases. Every release is supported for 5~ years until the Ubuntu LTS base runs out of support.


Why are there so few applications installed?

Part of the Bodhi Linux philosophy is minimalism and user choice. We feel that our users are intelligent enough to choose what applications they want, and we provide an easy way to do so at the AppCenter. We also feel that it is easier and better for you to build the system you want from the start, rather than having to remove a lot of applications you don't want and/or need and then install the ones you want/need.

What is Moksha?

Moksha is a fork of the Enlightenment DR17 desktop maintained by the Bodhi Linux team. Moksha focuses on staying light weight, while still offering a high level of customization options.
