So... as a noob... what exactly is BodHi... is it just Ubuntu with the Moksha Desktop... or is there more going on under the hood?
I am thinking of installing i3wm... I have it mainly setup and can switch back to Moksha at the login screen, if I like.. but I am wondering what BodHi is once Moksha is not being used?
TL;DR : If I switch to i3wm instead of Moksha.. then what is left. What exactly is BodHi when using not using Moksha and is there any advantage to using it over some other ubuntu distro

As far as I know, it’s a tweaked Ubuntu and moksha. The extent/existence of the tweaking I’m not entirely sure of. I’m just the forum Admin though, one of the devs would be better placed to go into detail.

The main advantage of using Bodhi other than some other ubuntu based distro is in the package list of what is installed by default. When I released BL 5.1, I went over every single package that was installed and ask myself do we need or want this installed. If not I removed it. I only kept the packages needed to having a functioning desktop with a few exceptions. This is part of the reason Bodhi has a reputation of being "mean and lean" as one user put it. Now, when you install another DE or window manager that is going to bring in dependencies and all to the package list of course. You can minimize that some by installing using apts --no-install-recommends option altho sometimes you really want or need the recommended packages. Now of course Bodhi does change some system files here and there from Ubuntu's versions (actually Lubuntu since I start with lubuntu and not a pure ubuntu when making Bodhi ISOs). But these changes are overall not significant. |

Ok... I am just thinking.. if I want it "lean and mean" maybe I should uninstall Moksha? Like if I am not going to use it.
I dunno. I am actually happy with BodHi but tweaking is kinda addictive I am finding out. I am just wondering what I can strip out. I have been thinking of trying ArchLinux.
