"When Microsoft released Windows 11, it became clear that a lot of hardware wouldn't support the new version of Windows. Many people ended up having to purchase new systems if they wanted to stick with Windows. For some, that wasn't an option, so they had to continue using a Windows operating system that would eventually fall out of support. That meant no more security updates, which can leave users -- and their data -- vulnerable."
"The one caveat to using Bodhi Linux is that you will have to rethink the way you interact with the desktop, as it's quite different. That doesn't make it challenging (it's not), but know that Moksha will take a bit of getting used to. One of my favorite features of Moksha (which also appears in Enlightenment) is that you can access the desktop menu by clicking anywhere on the desktop. That makes for an efficient workflow."
Planned obsolescence and stricter Windows 11 hardware requirements left many PCs unable to upgrade, forcing continued use of unsupported Windows versions without security updates. A handful of lightweight Linux distributions can revive older or less-powerful machines and restore security, functionality, and performance. Bodhi Linux offers the Moksha Desktop, a distinct interface inspired by Enlightenment that is well-suited to older hardware but requires users to adjust interaction habits. Moksha allows accessing the desktop menu by clicking anywhere on the desktop, enabling an efficient workflow. Several other lightweight distributions target legacy systems to extend device lifespans and reduce hardware replacement costs.
