Good website for "software for Bodhi"?

Only one that I know of.

www.bodhilinux.com/a/

I do not fully understand the point

Linux apps are simply Linux apps. Install what you consider to be fine for you. Maybe you could try our apppack version with preinstalled SW. Check our download section

This question may not be strange from a brand new Linux user.
Any Ubuntu ot Linux Mint software is generally at your disposal with Synaptic or terminal (terminology) command line inside Bodhi Linux : sudo apt install X or sudo apt-get install X where X is the name of the required software.
If you are coming from Windows world and are looking for equivalences please see this table:
wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software
Enjoy.

Thank you dear majpooper.
BL5.1 brought some choices due to our needs

and now BL6 prealpha doesn't install anything we won't need. I like it. I feel free.

Hello,

Cheers to zuul for sharing their concise list of applications! Here are some additional applications worth considering:
- Pragha* (audio player): while VLC is the oft recommended media player, it (VLC) is a considerably larger package when compared with Pragha. Note that Pragha is for audio files *only* and *not* video files.
- Pinta: if there is a need or a desire to paint or edit images, Pinta seems to be a lite option when compared with GIMP and especially Krita, and serves its purpose well as an advanced paint application.
- Calibre*: eBook management tool. Personally have not tested this application in the 32bit Legacy environment but in a 64bit distribution. Nevertheless it is an ideal application for managing eBooks, including reading them and creating them.

*These applications are not in the Bodhi app store.

The "advanced screenshot tool" (Bodhi Module) is also a very handy module to consider as an essential post-installation addition! Unlike the default screenshot tool, the advanced screenshot module can crop a section of the screenshot prior to saving. This tool may prove to be quite powerful when configured according to the user's personal preferences, such as specifying the folder to save the screenshot and customizing a countdown timer.

On the topic of screen recording, the VokoscreenNG application provides the user with the ability to record their screen with numerous additional settings, such as audio recording. This tool is useful if one wants to create instruction or troubleshooting videos.

An additional screen recording tool is Peek. Unlike VokoscreenNG, Peek *only* records in .gif format from the user's screen.

Both Peek and VokoscreenNG do not appear to be availble within the Bodhi application store. I've personally used VokoscreenNG to screen record on a relatively advanced machine (compared to this T40) and it performed well. It's necessary to also qualify here that I have not used nor tested Peek. My decision to mention Peek was based upon its apparent popularlity: when searching for "screen recorder" and "Linux" the Peek application appeared in numerous cases and had relatively decent reviews. In any case, once again, I've used VokoscreenNG (not in the 32bit Bodhi Legacy environment) and it performed well.

The "simplescreenrecorder" application mentioned in this thread seems to be the screen recorder worth testing within a 32bit Legacy environment considering VokoscreenNG is likely a more resource intensive application. Although this opinion is merely an assumption on my part since I've not tested either applicatoin within a 32bit Legacy environment.

Of course, as majpooper has indicated, discretion should be applied prior to installing applications.

Finally, on the topic of discretion when installing applications, one can see an additional reason to "revive" an old machine. If one currently has Bodhi (or a different Linux distribution) installed on their primary computer and they do not want to risk experimenting with applications on their primary machine, then reviving an older machine with Bodhi 32bit Legacy provides a relatively safe scenario for testing. In this case, the user does not have to feel intimidated if they make mistakes because they can simply reinstall Bodhi and try again. Keep in mind that not all applications may operate within the 32bit Legacy Bodhi, the point here is that reviving an older machine and dedicating its purpose as a "test" machine may prove to be quite a valuable experience for the user, and perhaps also an indirect asset to the primary computer.

Cheers!
