Source-derived summary

Moksha is an open source window manager for Linux used primarily by Bodhi Linux. It is a fork and continuation of the Enlightenment 17 window manager.

History

Moksha was created by the Bodhi Linux developers as a continuation and improvement of the Enlightenment 17 window manager after the developers had trouble with Enlightenment 18 and 19. Previous versions of Bodhi Linux had used Enlightenment 17, before skipping 18 entirely and using 19. The first version of Bodhi Linux to contain Moksha was version 3.1.0 released on 11 August 2015.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
