Since it can provide you with the best user experience from legacy hardware, also, it offers the best user interface. **What do you dislike about Bodhi?** I can't think of any single disadvantage of Bodhi where I use it with almost garbled hardware.

OS that can run on just about anything! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim B. | Director of Operations, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Bodhi?** Bodhi is an OS that I have found to be very lightweight and super portable on even systems with the smallest capacities. Each new update brings something new, which shows that things are continuing to develop and change, which can not be said for some of the other systems I use. If you're familiar with running Linux and the setup process, this shouldn't be much of a departure which is nice to get up and running somewhat quickly. **What do you dislike about Bodhi?** While Bodhi is a system that is pretty straightforward, the initial setup and deployment can be a bit of a challenge for those who are not in the loop or have not tried to run something like this before. There really aren't many other things that I can say that I didn't like about this OS. What you get, should be what you expect from a free piece of software. Sure there are sacrifices that get made, but this program makes up for that in other ways. **Recommendations to others considering Bodhi:** When software is free like Bodhi, the only thing I usually tell people to consider is making sure that they get the download from a reliable source. If you are already to the point of looking into Bodhi, you know operating systems and you have a pretty good understanding of the limitations of your system. Give it a shot and see how it goes, it's free! **What problems is Bodhi solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bodhi is helping me solve the problems that I have experienced with getting a Linux-based operating system on some of my older, and what some might consider obsolete, hardware. ### 10.
