No I’m honestly a Linux user and I can tell you half of my time is spent on forums RUclips and websites and I’ve learned a lot but it’s like never ending at this point my recommendation to anyone the first thing you feel comfortable with stick with it until they no longer allow you to use it lol that’s my Linux advice
We are very nomadic. Usually all important files are stored away on externals or secondary drives so when we try something new we have all our stuff. It saves us if anything happens to the hardware or software.
Having a lot of options does not mean you need to try everything. Just pick a distro and stick to it. A fit for everyone. You being incompetent with anything that's not Windows or Apple is your issue, not issue of "Linux fans"
Dumb comment tbh. The systems that are the backbone of most things in terms of getting things done and the systems with the longest uptimes are systems running Linux and BSD.
I use windows for almost all things and linux when i need, i just used linux mint and pop os, and the rest i just tested, mint, pop os, ubuntu, and zorin are the go to for me, but they all stay pretty much the same since all of them are either based on ubuntu or debian and ubuntu is based on debian, so not much that changes tbh, i also used cent os for servers but thats another whole matter/thing
The interface reminds me strongly of Openbox, specifically in Mabox, one of my favorite Arch-based distros. I'm looking forward to your distro focus series! I hope to see some of my underrated favorites there.
Bodhi is one distribution I've never tried because I've tried to stay with DE's I'm familiar with. But I'm going to give this a run on my Celeron machines. I've got a 2015 Acer E11 that needs a lot of help. Great, positive, enthusiastic video as usual!
Bodi is lightweight cause it uses an ancient (though still supported) kernel. Arch is already at 6.6.7-arch1-1. Whilst kernels seem to get heavier and heavier, they seem to get better when it comes to performance based on my phoronix benchmark tests. WHilst Bodhi may be fast at bootup and desktop usage, in regards to gaming performance it will for sure do worse compared to something like Arch.
No, you are completely wrong. Bodhi 7 ISO uses Kernel 6.2 by S76 team and it is still light ;) If something is light or not is not only related to Kernel. Anyway I installed Moksha on Artix OS (based on Arch) and it is as responsive as on Ubuntu.
@@johnnyblack4261 I have 270 MB on 64 bit Bodhi 7 in idle after boot. It is even less with Debian base. Around 230 MB. With same kernel! Anyway we are preparing 32 bit Bodhi 7 based on Debian these days. I expect less than 200 MB RAM consumption.
Overall, I really like Bodhi Linux. Bodhi was one of the first Linux distros I tried for my converted Chromebook. Looks great and runs fast with very minimal resources. The main downside is hardware driver compatibility on some systems.
Hi, i am going to use for the first time Linux. I have some questions. Bodhi Linux is lightweight, it looks very good, but other Distros have also lightweight options. I am not a programmer or IT guy. But i know basic things about computers. I want something Debian based, because i heard that Debian is most stable. 1) I have an imac from 2009 with 8gb Ram. Which lightweight, user friendly, complete and good looking Linux Distro do you recommend for my Imac? 2) I have also a new laptop from HP. Just bought. It has a i5 processor with 16gb Ram. Which user friendly, complete and good looking Linux Distro do you recommend? 3) If i can use a lightweight Distro on an old computer. Can i use it also on a new computer? 4) What are the benefits to use a lightweight Distro on a new computer, especially a laptop? 5) I was thinking also about KDE plasma.What is the difference between KDE plasma and other Distros? Actually, I prefer to use the same Distro on each computer. The same Distro in lightweight and Normal or both in lightweight. I am not a gamer. Only sometimes. I want to do also some simple video editing with the Distros. Vacation videos. I want the best possible option. I am also looking at Mx Linux 23 and Ultramarine fedora based. I will wait for your reply. Thank you very much.
1. You could use Debian it is pretty good in itself 2. KDE is not a distro but a desktop environment 3. Debian offers a choice of desktop environments during installation itself 4. Coming to differences, KDE offers more on the visual aesthetics but is a bit resource heavy. However, that won't be a problem for your laptop. Other popular options are Gnome and XFCE (this one is minimalistic but will use less resource)
You said the same things about Zorin too... That is the only Linux distro I've ever used before that would not install to the hard drive, didn't deliver a error message 😑 and they want $39.00 for the Pro version? PLEASE!
Very nice and informative review. Thank you, we appreciate it. Stefan, the Bodhi dev
Thank You for the amazing software. Really enjoying it :)

I wonder if Linux fans, actually get anything done, with all the chopping and changing from distro to another.

Have my fav Linux for use. Look at others to see what features I like to migrate over.

Asus 2009 Astra linux: ram 300mb 👍 Bodhi Linux: ram 700mb 🤪
Yes for Celeron and Pentium 4 with extended battery life. I hope this Linux has over clock for the processor.
@@ОлегИванов-з8ж7б Hmm, Bodhi RAM is 270 MB after installation. Stefan, the bodhi developer ;)
Sir, suggest me a linux distro for programming(for usual vscode, web dev & dsa), thanks
Fedora
Can we able to use Bodhi Linux for web development???
I am a really big fan of Bodhi Linux. Was my Distro for my Acer C720 laptop but now it can no longer charge ;(
Bodhi is very good!!
On what are you basing that it is the fastest? No benchmarks?
Interesting update

@@ffffff7593 Hello. Bodhi linux lacks ARM support. Lets hope one day we will have enough human resources to do that. Stefan
First time I ever saw this-- THANKS.. looks good I think..

Hi there,
do you think Bodhi Linux is better than antiX 23.1 for a beginner?
Please letting me know.
Thanks 🙏
Yeah Bodhi is better and easyer to control
Amazing
cant get network up and running , it cant find it and dont know how to fix it
I downoaded twice the iso but faulty ones 😢
NO CTRL+ALT+T TERMINAL=FAIL
Default is CTRL ALT INSERT. If you need, rebind it in key bindings settings to whatever you want.
Tried it and deleted it, just like the last version. Too many quirks for me, although others may like it.
Yea, we are aware Bodhi is not for everyone. It needs some time to get use to it. Anyway, thank you for testing and feedback
Really the best review ever, i love your channel

@@torqueRxF Thank you for your reply
Can you benchmark cachy os
That’s was interesting
Can't beat to Mx Linux 🔥
So any linux distro is amazing?
I m gonna stay with arch
haha i know someone would of said that
You said the same things about Zorin too...

PLEASE!
You really don't have a clue..
It looks crap. It would good for an Aliens game menu but not good for an OS.
