Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 is Released, Enlightenment-based Moksha 0.2.1 desktop
Built on top of the recently released, Enlightenment-based Moksha 0.2.1 desktop environment, and based on the Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 arrives in its final, production-ready state powered by the long-term supported Linux 4.4 kernel fully patched against the "Dirty COW" vulnerability.
Bodhi is an open source Linux distribution built around the Enlightenment desktop environment and based on the world’s most popular free operating system, Ubuntu Linux. It is a customizable and minimalistic distribution that combines the beauty of the Enlightenment desktop with a great collection of applications and package management utilities.
The highlights of this release coming from our previous stable release, Bodhi Linux 3.2.1, are:
- Ubuntu 16.04.1 Core
- Moksha 0.2.1 Desktop
- Linux 4.4 Kernel
- EFL 1.18.1
- New / Updated Moksha Modules
Ultimately our end users should be pleased to see the same stable operating system they have grown accustomed to in the past years, with newer application versions the updated Ubuntu LTS brings with it. I would like to take this time to remind users that we do not support a direct upgrade path from 3.2.1 to 4.0.0. You will need to reinstall your operating system to have Bodhi Linux 4.0.0. I would also like to mention that there is no rush for users to upgrade their working 3.2.1 systems. Bodhi 3 will be supported until April 2019. Existing 4.0.0 pre-release users can upgrade to this stable release by simply running the updates via their package manager.
EFL 1.18.1 is pre-installed, along with new and updated Moksha modules
Among other cool new things implemented in the Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 release, we can mention the addition of the latest Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) 1.18.1, along with a bunch of new and updated Moksha modules, as well as all the latest GNU/Linux technologies to provide users with yet another rock-solid release, so remember to donate if you like it.
Bodhi Linux 4.0.0 is available for download right now via our website, for 64-bit, 32-bit and Legacy systems. If you're running a Bodhi release from the 3.2 series please note that you'll have to reinstall because an upgrade path is not available at the moment. However, you should also keep in mind the the Bodhi 3.x series is supported until April 2019.
