Today I am very pleased to share the hard work of the Bodhi Team with our latest 5.0.0 pre-release disc which we are tagging as a “Release Candidate”.

Today I am happy to announce the first scheduled update release of the Bodhi Linux 4 branch – Bodhi Linux 4.1.0. This release serves to package up the fixes for a few bugs that slipped through the cracks in the 4.0.0 release, as well as provided updated package sets for the install ISO images. Most notably these ISO images come with EFL 1.18.4, Linux Kernel 4.8, and a new Moksha Theme based on the “Arc Dark” theme.

This free guide explains in simple language how to get started with Bodhi Linux 4 and how to make the most of the Moksha desktop.

Hot on the heels of the Moksha 0.2.1 desktop release I am happy to announce the stable release of Bodhi 4.0.0.

We are finally nearing the end of the 4.0.0 release cycle. If all goes as planned I will publish a final set of ISO images by the end of the month flagged as stable.

Today I bring to you version 3.2.0 of Bodhi Linux. This is our last scheduled update release of the Bodhi 3 branch.

Why in a mobile market dominated by Android and iOS is it worth considering Sailfish OS? Today I am hoping to answer this question a bit after having spent some time using Sailfish OS.

Today I am happy to announce the second snapshot release of the Moksha Desktop - 0.2.0. For those who prefer to play first and read release notes second you can find the release downloads on our GitHub repo here. Those who wish to try the latest Moksha desktop release on a live CD can download and update a Bodhi Linux Live CD.

Last week was thanksgiving in the United States, so it feels like an appropriate time to talk about some of the open source projects that I am thankful for this year that I am likely to contribute to.

I can hardly believe that this month marks the fifth year I have been working on Bodhi Linux stuff. What started as a project to save me from having to compile EFL + E updates on six different Ubuntu computers every month has become so much more than that.

Moksha is a fork of the Enlightenment DR17 desktop which you can learn more about here. Today we are going to walk through the steps required to compile Moksha from source on Debian Jessie.

At the start of the week I announced that work had begun on Moksha’s new control panel we are calling Swami. Today I am happy to share that the first two modules for Swami are ready for alpha testing:

Unlike the normal Bodhi Linux releases which come with a minimal amount of software pre-installed, AppPack releases will include a variety of software pre-installed for folks who want minimal setup work after installing their operating system.

I am happy to share six new additions to the themes section of our AppCenter for Bodhi Linux and the Moksha Desktop

A month ago we posted about a slew of new module you can use to customize your Moksha Desktop. The next step in allowing our users to easily harness the plethora of customization options Moksha is capable of, is bringing a variety of old E17 themes up to speed so they are compatible with Moksha.

Today I would like to share a “quick and dirty” introduction to utilizing the git command with a new repository. Instead of aiming to be comprehensive guide, this article today will instead aim to explain the minimum number of commands you need to get started “pushing” and “pulling” commits from your git repository.

This release is a bigger deal for the Bodhi team than our previous update releases have been in the past. The reason for this is because this release is the first to use the Moksha Desktop which we have forked from E17. Because it is built on the rock solid foundation that E17 provides, even this first release of the Moksha Desktop is stable and is something I feel comfortable using in a production environment...

a short tutorial on how to easily install, test, and keep up to date with the latest iteration of the Moksha desktop on your Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system.

The use of open source software has become more and more commonplace as the technological world advances. It powers millions of devices many of which we depend on every single day. In fact this very web page you are reading this post on is powered by bits of open source code.

Software would be useless if there were not people there to use it and there are many different types of people who use open source software every day.

The latest bit of announced change that has people up in arms in the Linux community is Ubuntu's concept of “Snappy” packages.
