An Ubuntu-based distro that combines Ubuntu’s long-term support (LTS) release with its custom Enlightenmentbased Moksha desktop, to create a lightweight yet functional installation. Bodhi isn’t exactly designed for Linux newbies, but doesn’t involve a steep learning curve, either.
SPECS
CPU: 1GHz
Memory: 1GB
HDD: 5GB
Builds: Currently only 64-bit; 32-bit remains TBC
Bodhi Linux 6.0 is the distro’s first major release under the new management after its founder handed over the reins of the project to its community in 2019. Although built on top of Ubuntu releases, this one being on the Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Focal Fossa release, Bodhi Linux isn’t just another Ubuntu derivative.
