Bodhi Linux is a popular [lightweight distro](https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-linux-beginners/) that features the [Moksha](https://itsfoss.com/bodhi-linux-introduces-moksha-desktop/) desktop environment, which provides a unique user experience.

The last major release was [Bodhi Linux 6.0](https://itsfoss.com/bodhi-linux-6-release/), which came more than two years back with impressive improvements. 

Bodhi Linux 7.0 has been on the roadmap for a while, but the development was stalled because the creator had some health issues. Hoping that the developer is doing better now; Let us look at the next upgrade.

## 🆕 Bodhi Linux 7.0: What's New?

This release of Bodhi Linux is based on [Ubuntu 22.04](https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-22-04-release/) LTS, which is a **pretty solid foundation**. Resulting in some good hardware support alongside performance and security enhancements.

Bodhi Linux 7.0 now features a **new default theme** called '**MokshaGreen**', which features an **animated background**, a **new boot Plymouth boot screen**, and a **new login screen theme**.

So, some visual bling to watch out for, even if it may not be much.

The desktop environment side of things has also received several significant updates, with **Moksha 0.4.0** bringing in a host of improvements that include:

- Refactor several modules to remove dependence on depreciated libraries.
- A keybindings viewer for basic Moksha shortcuts that can be accessed using “Super + F1”.
- Fix the language settings 'Apply' button.
- Added Support for window snapping to the edge of the screen.
- GTK theme and Icon set for MokshaGreen.
