Bodhi Linux comes in six flavors:
- Standard Edition
- Debian Edition (Currently in Beta)
- HWE Edition
- s76 Edition
- AppPack Edition
- Legacy (32bit) Edition
Standard Edition
Bodhi Linux Standard Edition (BL7 DE) is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS with a minimal and lightweight base designed to allow you the user, the freedom to build your own workstation exactly as you want it, with no bloat or cruft that you don’t want or need. If your machine was made within the last decade or so and has a 64bit processor, BL7-SE will make your machine fly.
The current 7.0.0 default application set for the standard release is:
- Terminology Terminal Emulator
- Chromium Web Browser
- Thunar File Manager with archive plugin
- Leafpad Text Editor
- ePhoto Image Viewer
- aRandr Monitor Settings
- Web Browser Manager
- Engrampa File Archiver
- Pavucontrol Pulse Audio Control
- Gnome Language Selector
- Synaptic Package Manager
Debian Edition
Bodhi Linux Debian Edition also has a minimal and lightweight base designed to allow you the user, the freedom to build your own workstation exactly as you want it. If your machine was made within the last decade or so and has a 64bit processor, BL7-DE will make your machine fly but with a Debian Base. BL7-DE is currently in beta, but feel free to download it, and give it a road test. Let us know what you think!
Hardware Enablement Edition
BL7-HWE is the same as BL7-SE but with the most recent kernel to make most of the newest hardware.
s76
Bodhi Linux s76 is the same as BL-SE but with the even more bleeding-edge 6.4.6-76060406 kernel. If your hardware is so new that even the HWE kernel isn’t getting the most out of it, then BL-s76 is for you!
Note: At the time of writing the Nvidia legacy PPA is only patched for support up to Linux kernel version 6.3, therefore, do not use BL-HWE with nvidia-graphics-drivers-340.
