![]() Hello Bodhi people As we all know, Bodhi is being a beautiful, elegant and powerful disto, but it's super power is how well it performs on older hardware. With this in mind I thought it would be nice to showcase that here by asking members to post a screenshot here displaying an inxi output. inxi is already installed, and the required output can be achieved by opening a terminal and doing Here is an example from my main machine (I shall add my 17 year old Dell Latitude at some point):  Thanks for taking part. Enjoy Bodhi! |

I have my main laptop I use with openshot, hydrogen, audacity, ect.
I also have my original Acer Aspire One that had an 8gb ssd drive that failed and thus my first Bodhi install. I replaced the 8gb chips that served as the hard drive with a 30gb ipod hard drive attached with a tiff (ziff?) ribbon and installed Bodhi.

My 12 year old lenovo x200s. Everything still works although the corners are rounder than when it was nearly new. It does need a new battery but other than that it is perfectly usable since a forced upgrade to the HDD when the original disk starting making clicking sounds.
I also have a recent dell workstation that I dual boot between Windows 10 and KDE neon. I'm that guy that generally doesn't buy new, I've found ex-corporate / refurbished PCs to be very reliable, good value and generally much more robust than most cheaper consumer laptops and I'm very good at dropping the. I dual boot the other machine primarily for professional mechanical CAD packages an area where Linux support is non existent. I like KDE, actually I mainly like KDE Connect but may decide to switch over to Bodhi once I get used to the interface (Winkey + Space took me two weeks to find! I really should read the manual!).
Generally running Bodhi and Moksha I find the lenovo totally usable for day to day work. I do a little programming in python and find pycharm challenges it at startup but once it is running it is responsive enough to be usable. Any recommendations for a light weight novice friendly python IDE would be appreciated.
