Hello everybody, darknetmatrix here. Not new to linux but new to bodhi, just downloaded the bodhi 6 iso. If i had time i will install it on my laptop. Been reading that bodhi is really fast, let's hope so because the laptop is a old toshiba. Maybe a strange question for you die hards on bodhi, but if i install bodhi 6 on the laptop should i have the chance to upgrade to bodhi 7 when it's released? If not how long will bodhi 6 will see security updates? As it is based on 20.04, i assume the same as ubuntu or do i see it wrong? Anyway it's gonna be a new adventure for me, never used enlightenment, moksha and bodhi. When i'm running into trouble you will hear from me ... , kind regards

Welcome,
Unfortunately Bodhi doesnt support updating between major versions, so for 7.0 you will have to clean install. However as you suspected, Bodhi 6 will get security updates thru ubuntu until April 2025. Also, Moksha updates are usually applied to the two most recent Bodhi versions, so even when 7.0 comes out, 6.x should still get the same desktop fixes and feature updates (although that's when 5.x will likely stop getting such improvements). So no worries installing 6.0now, although maybe by the time 7.0 comes out you'll have learned enough about Bodhi that you want to set it up again just for fun!

Hi darknetmatrix
Welcome to the forums. You’re right, Bodhi 6 will receive security updates as long as Ubuntu 20.04 does. When Bodhi 7 is released you will need to do a fresh install. Bodhi is known for its small footprint and ability to bring old software back to life. Let us know how it goes. Feel free to ask questions here or on our discord server, and check out our wiki and Ebook for some useful information.
