Hi I'm new to Bodhi (great distrobution!) and coming from Mint and I'm fairly new to Linux in general and I'll was looking for a lightweight distro and found Bodhi, so that's how I ended up here.
Anyhow, on my first bootup I opened the terminal and ran the usual commands (sudo apt update/upgrade) to see if everything were up to date and I got this message: "lsb-release (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?". I went for default: N, did I'll make the right choice? It also appeared one more time so just pressed N again, never encountered that message before when running a upgrade, that is why I'm asking.
Also installed Neofetch and now it shows the Ubuntu logo and not Bodhi's, why is that? In the live environment Neofetch showed the Bodhi logo. And it also now says: "Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS x86_64" where it says OS in Neofetch, in LE: Bodhi.
EDIT: Forgot is there a way to make Terminology to open over the window you got open, for instance Firefox? Or do you have to minimize every time and go to the desktop to see the terminal?

The best choice is:
- for the first question - N (default);
- for the second question - Y (install new version).
The second question asks for the installation of the new version '/etc/skel/.config/mimeapps.list'. But it is not critical if you left this file unchanged.

I did a complete re-installation and did it your way, no big deal only takes like 10 min at the most. |

EDIT: Forgot is there a way to make Terminology to open over the window you got open, for instance Firefox? Or do you have to minimize every time and go to the desktop to see the terminal? I'm not sure will my answer help or not, but you can click the Terminology window icon (in the upper left corner) and mark 'Always on Top' checkbox. |

Always on top is useful, I also use alt+tab to cycle through windows.

Works like a charm today, didn't have to do anything, no idea why Terminology only opened in the background yesterday.

I figured it out why Terminology only opened in the background, it happened once again, so started reading: www.bodhilinux.com/w/key-bindings-and-edge-bindings/ I'll had actually pressed: Ctrl + Alt + T out of habit to try and open the terminal and by doing so I changed "Window Always On Top Toggle", so all my bad. 
As for any new users to open the terminal (Terminology) it's: Ctrl + Alt + Insert

That was a thing for me for a while when I first used Bodhi/moksha. My muscle memory refused to adapt, so I changed the key binding so ctrl+alt+T now opens terminology. I’ve since campaigned for the default binding for it to be terminology, but Stefan really really likes it as it is. Join the campaign. There’s a thread on here somewhere. Democracy’s not all it’s cracked up to be when you want something no one else is that bothered about lol Here’s some info on keybinding if you wish to do the same. www.bodhilinux.com/w/key-bindings-and-edge-bindings/Feel free to ask if you get confused. Moksha takes a bit of getting used to. |

Haha yeah... that's what it is like for me right now, but I went into this fully knowing that it would take time to get used to the Bodhi/Moksha DE. I'm coming from Xfce, LXQt, Cinnamon and MATE, the most advanced I went was playing around with the window manager OpenBox, which was fun. I've read that already, but sticking with the default keybindings for now, thanks for the link still! |
