He posted a link to this on X (aka twitter) where I saw it first with the comment:

If you are a passive user of Linux desktop, Bodhi Linux could be the perfect distro to push you out of your comfort zone and discover the power of customisation.

I like this in the article

I have always been a passive desktop user, running the whole look and feel of a desktop like Pop!_OS with its default settings, but that was about to change.

as well as his later comment

this is where you need to learn to customise your setup in a way that suits you. I must add here that when I discovered the flexible system for customisation of applications control, that's when I was sold on Bodhi.
overall it is a fair review from a user who is not a linux guru but just an "average user" who perhaps knows a little but clearly little about enlightenment

it is hard for me to imagine knowing little about enlightenment (or not knowing my way around Linux well) as I have been using Enlightenment/Bodhi for 15 years or more. So reviews like this are valuable to me

And he is right in the conclusion that:

The handful of applications that are installed with the system are purposeful; you get the sense they were carefully selected by the Bodhi development team.

There has been much discussion among Bodhi Team members about the apps and some of the libs that are preinstalled, In fact all packages that are preinstalled are carefully reviewed by me. I try to balance minimalism and having most things a user will likely install work by default.

It is a fair decent review and overall positive
