I installed Bodhi Linux 7.0 on my old Retina MacBook Pro — 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD — and it runs like a charm. I threw in Picom to eliminate screen tearing during video playback, mbpfan to keep the MacBook Pro's fans in check, fcitx5 for Korean input, and the Plank dock on top of that. And yet, the whole thing still sits under 400MB at boot. I gave AntiX and a few other lightweight distros a shot, but none of them came close to how lean Bodhi Linux is. Couldn't recommend it more.

Bazat pe Ubuntu, deci ai acces la un ecosistem vast de software. Performanță excelentă și viteză mare. Interface elegantă și intuitivă. Contra: Mediul desktop Moksha poate părea neobișnuit sau greu de folosit pentru începători. Concluzie: Bodhi Linux este o alegere excelentă dacă îți dorești un sistem de operare rapid, ușor și foarte personalizabil, în special pentru calculatoare mai vechi sau cu resurse limitate. Mediul desktop Moksha este un plus pentru utilizatorii care apreciază un control profund asupra aspectului și comportamentului desktop-ului lor. Totuși, dacă ești un începător în lumea Linux, ar putea exista o curbă de învățare până când te obișnuiești cu interfața și cu personalizarea acestuia. Dacă îți place să experimentezi și să ajustezi sistemul exact așa cum îți dorești, Bodhi Linux ar putea fi o alegere perfectă pentru tine. Was this review helpful?

It ran like a champ on my early 2015 MacBook Air with 4 GB of RAM, Intel CPU, and 128 GB of SSD storage. The AppPack edition is loaded with apps, but still lightweight. I like the minimalist, standard edition because I like less software on my computer to keep things secure and I generally know what I need on Linux. I’ve used Bodhi off and on for a while and it always breathes new life into old machines. It makes my fairly powerful computers run well and smooth too. The boot times are good (boots and shuts down instantly). The OS also includes an app center which is nice and may be missing from other lightweight Linux distros. It’s even online as a website. Much easier to use than Synaptic Package manager, although Synaptic’s included in Bodhi Linux AppPack. The Discord server is active and pretty friendly. The devs/team do get involved and provide support and so do so many of the regular users. I couldn't imagine computing for the past seven years without this great Linux distribution. I’m leaving a 9/10 rating. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 82 reader reviews of Bodhi Linux...
