7. Fastest mainstream Linux is Bodhi

Bodhi Linux is unique and very efficient especially for old low-resource low memory computers.

I would not recommend it for Linux newbies unless they are willing to deal with its non-standard way of doing things.

It does not use KDE or GNOME or XFCE. It uses its own Moksha desktop environment.

Bodhi, more than any other mainstream Linux, is really fast and efficient (and also looks nice).

If you want to try this quirky Linux, wait for the release of Bodhi 8 in the next few months.

Bodhi 7 is based on Ubuntu but it is unclear if Bodhi 8 will be based on Ubuntu or Debian 13.
