Content | <h2>Bodhi Linux - Moksha</h2>
<strong>Bodhi Linux 6.x</strong> comes with the <a href="https://www.bodhilinux.com/moksha-desktop/">Moksha Desktop</a> Window Manager (<em>a fork of <strong>Enlightenment</strong></em>).
Although <strong>Moksha</strong> and <strong>Enlightenment</strong> are<em> functionally</em> <strong>similar</strong>, there are one or two <em>significant</em> and <em>many subtle</em> <strong>differences</strong> between the two. Depending on how familiar you are with <a href="https://www.bodhilinux.com/moksha-desktop/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moksha Desktop</a> will influence how easy/challenging you'll find the transition between the two.
<em>There is the possibility of an <a href="https://www.enlightenment.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enlightenment</a> release, at a later date. Currently there is a Beta of 6.1 Enlightenment - click <a href="https://bodhilinux.boards.net/thread/935/bodhi-enlightenment-25-beta-release">here</a> for more information.
