Hello Everyone,
Kodachi is a "Top Banana" #1 Linux OS in my opinion.
I have been following Kodachi since 5.0 came out. What I found amazing about Kodachi was that it's NOT like any other Linux OS Distro to say the least.
It offers the "Absolute Best Online Protection" PERIOD!
It's design is second to none!
It's a full featured OS and then add in a TON of Goodies! It's like Warith ( the creator) never sleeps! Kodachi has software and features I've never even heard of. Like Eagle Eye which monitors your entire system. I found out there's tons of things going on with my computer that I had no clue of! That is until I bumped into Kodachi. Then there's surprises like Web Browsers I never even knew existed and they're advanced!
Kodachi is like bumping into something "Really Special" so much so you want to keep it a secret type of thing because you feel it gives you an advantage over those who don't know about Kodachi.
Kodachi vs Tails - When I found out about Tails I downloaded it and thought "hey that's pretty cool." Then I found out about Kodachi and thought - "WOW THIS ONE'S SO HOT IT'S LIKE ON FIRE!!!"
My lonely Tails CD has been sitting in a box collecting dust ever since I discovered Kodachi!
Kodachi seems to be like the Greatest Linux OS on Steroids! Kodachi has all the bells and whistles and tons of other things you never expected!
I have downloaded and tested many Linux OS and as you may have guessed Kodachi is my Favorite!
Now because Distrowatch.com has Tails favored over Kodachi I'm simply going to ask YOU people out there to put this to the test Kodachi vs Tails. Download them both!
You'll see Kodachi leaves Tails in the DUST! Kodachi seems All Pro while Tails seems like ( I'm trying to be nice and not harsh ) on a amateur level.
Just download them both and you'll see what I mean.
Have A Good One!

The Free Kodachi VPN is restricted to just One Server account of a 3 Eyes Country!, there used to be 5 or 6 Free VPN Servers from all around the world where you could change to a none 3, 9, or 14 Eyes Country for greater Privacy!. The Owner has reduced his servers due to Buisness laws and Political pressure? in Oman. Simply because Kodachi 'used to be' truly annonamous but now is closly monitored by,... the Country to which traffic the VPN goes through, you have been advised. that said its still pretty good just not as secure as it was.

I HOPE I AM WRONG> Having still an older slightly buggy though brilliant 7.6 version, and having been in past personal discussion with Mr. Warith Al Maawali concerning linux and android phone software development, I was very much looking forward to test driving his latest model. However, while the system is pretty much looking and operating as awesome as most might say - I am very sad and disappointed in being completely unable to download an ISO that checks out as suitable for use. Checksum is dirty -and the once running OS then seems to fail its own RootKit Hunter tests - [ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.6 ] System checks summary File properties checks... Required commands check failed Files checked: 149 Suspect files: 149 Rootkit checks... Rootkits checked : 500 Possible rootkits: 4 Applications checks... All checks skipped The system checks took: 2 minutes and 54 seconds VERIFY THE CHECKSUM! Need more ISO hosting options like torrent or other to verify corruption! This has been reported by another user on SourceForge with an alarmingly lackadaisical response: eeds posted a comment on ticket #3 Not from SF for sure or else others will complain its only you. Michal Dziczkowski posted a comment on ticket #3 I were checking both. Not sure what could cause this issue. Is it from the SF side or else. It does need checking. 28 lut 2023 eeds posted a comment on ticket #3 I don't think this is valid sourceforge.net/p/linuxkodachi/tickets/3/?limit=25#0797 His argument suggests his only verification was based in silence of other sourceforge users and not on an investigation into the issue. I know he is a busy man, but this takes the cake. AVOID UNTIL VERIFIED

Great Distro!!! In this version the excess cpu issue I was having with version 8.25 is fixed! Runs great on both my Core2 Quad 6600 Dell and My Old I# 2350 Laptop! Fixed is the IPv6 Issue from 8.20! And Of Coarse All Security and Program Updates Are Up To Date! I Have been Using Kodachi Since 7.6 Without Any Dirty Letters From My ISP! I use Kodachi along as a media server along with NORDVPN and DNSCRYPT, TOR excluding 14eyes,Mac Spoofed,Random HWID, RF Devices Disabled, Swap Enabled and Encrypted, USB Control, Installed On Hardware With System NUKE Enabled! All Of This Learned And Accomplished From The KODACHI DASHBOARD!!! I Recommend downloading This Distro Burning It To A Flash Drive And Giving It A Try By Running It out Of RAM!! The XFCE Desktop Looks Great But Can Easily Be Customized By Going To XFCELOOK.ORG and copying Icons And Themes In their Respective Folders Located At "/usr/share/icons" and "/usr/share/themes" I Have To Say That Kodachi Is Easy To Move To From Windows After Learning How To Mount Drives Using "Disk" In Settings Give Kodachi A Try With The Pre-Installed Programs it makes It Hard To Identify You By The Programs You Have Installed on Your Machine! That Makes Kodachi Secure OS A Great option For A Daily Driver! CONS If You Are planning To Get A Free Ride By Downloading Videos On The Free Kodachi VPN You Are Wasting Your Time!!! The Audio Output Has To Be Manually Set To HDMI Every Time I REBOOT when Attaching Multiple Monitors!

Whether you like Kodachi in 2023 or not, it opens your eyes to activities that you may not have been privy of before. I admire the effort that went into this distro and it allowed me to confirm my claim that our weakest link is at the other end of the cable or dsl cable (the embedded consolidated communications racket). There are a few little quirks and I'll list them as best as I can recollect. 1.) If running a system that is a linux router with additional cards installed, there is a bit of delay in the forwarding or sharing of the connection. 2.) At times menus will be come confounded (who hasn't seen opensnitch app crash once or twice, or the cool dashboard or even the icons on the side panel may suddenly become gone with no fault of the user). 3.) The system is freely shared by the creator, he bothered to make videos and has an awesome website to help along the way, but I can't help to wonder about some of the apps on here and whether or not I am participating in some sort of bit-mining operation. The bitcoin prices appear before there's even a valid internet connection at times. 4.) The vpn appears the best feature (for me anyway) and to see the myriad of live information available right on the destop is nothing short of awesome, but I think maybe the developer could offer a lighter stripped-down version. How many of us are into chatting percentage-wise? How many of us are into bitcoins? 5.) The installed-to-your-desktop version did not work for me but since I only did it once, I'm in no position to comment aside from the fact that it failed to install a few times before it finally went through and did its thing (only to fail at the networking part). HOWEVER, I'm sure it could have been repaired but I ran back to the live distro version instead. In conclusion, if you spend some moments with kodachi, there's a high liklihood that you will either use it exclusively or at very least, keep a copy for emergencies. Despite any of the aforementioned comments, I give kodachi 6-thumbs up.

Been using Kodachi live and in every VM available on Linux platforms since version 8.15; was excellent for its purposes (which never since its 2013 creation was meant to be 100% private) until about nine months ago, when "Kodachi Kit" stopped being marketed through "settings", Kodachi VPN got cut back, and a Kodachi Discord user who did nothing but run down Kodachi got made a mod; since about mid-January 2023, in live/bare metal/any nature VM installs, any one or all system updates now result in Kodachi dashboard locking up with "out of bounds" error (apparently gamba file error some sort) when clicking on VPN section of dashboard...have to use terminal for x-kill to close it, then dashboard stays on as ghost until restart. Checking Discord, dev seems to not hang out much, few weeks ago banned his Kodachi-bashing mod, and rest of his server is all inane chitchat about anything but Kodachi. Other features of Kodachi seem to still work as of now, but for how long...dev hasn't updated in over three months, issues are developing re Ubuntu 18.04LTS updates, that distro itself is EOL in two months, and there's no buzz at Discord et al about an updated or new code base Kodachi in offing. Maybe another great Linux distro sadly sailing into the sunset?

Well-made privacy OS, perfect for heaps of different reasons, packed with useful features that rivalling operating systems do not offer. I recommend it to anyone.

the livecd was great. I thought i would really like this but...... I made the mistake of installing it !!! It installed easy enough...the problem began when i took out the livecd and rebooted. Everything came out PINK !!! No colors on the screen except PINK !! the program screwed up the Monitor Settings and it took me over an hour tryng to get the colors back to default. I finally wisely Deleted the Partition and took Kodachi out of my system. then spent another hour trying to recover the colors on the monitor. Enough of That ! Maybe on their next revision/update they will fix this ?

I can't load pan newsreader, neither with synaptic nor apt-get

This is a great project here, but I think the ISO file is now corrupted. It wouldn't boot from a USB, and I just tried and failed with the ISO burned to a DVD.. The error message from the DVD said, "critical media error", and before it said that, it said something about bluetooth errors. If you get the file straightened out, you will have a winner here. ' If I was the one that screwed up here, please let me know!! Thanks.

Well, my review is gonna be short, but I am not sure). "+" (1. OS is provided with very big amount of security and other not necessary but useful programs, such as i2p or noisy traffic crawler. (2.OS is easy to use and user-friendly, even new to Linux will understand basics of Kodachi. (3.OS gives user advice, such as security score, and a guide how to increase it. (4. Everything needed to privacy-concerned is on desktop as widget, such traffic status and analysis, system status, and privacy security widgets. (5.Panic room. Literally the best thing I have ever saw in privacy-focused OSes. One widget in Cairo-Dock gives you full control under your system, you could even wipe it if you need that. (6. Kodachi is lightweight and can be installed even on old and slow PC (such as mine, I have integrated Intel Graphics 4000 and 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium N3700), also, Kodachi only uses 2-3,5 GB while installed on USB, while Tails requires at least 8 GB. (7. Ability to choose, will you install proprietary software or not. (8.Nice user-guide on Kodachi homepage "-" (1. Some software and repositories, such as i2p and GNUnet are outdated and require manual reinstallation, but after 5 months of using Kodachi, I didn't find any other outdated software, so, it's not a big minus. So, the result grade is 9.5/10; great OS for home/professional/ethical hacking(if required software installed) purposes.Reply from Linux Kodachi 8.27

Kodachi is a solid Linux security platform and there is a minimal curve to getting up to speed, especially if you are new to Linux. I installed it as a VM and put it through it's paces. What I found was a Linux literate build solid to the core. There were lots of bells and whistles (good or bad??), security good (maybe) lots of pre-installed apps bring with it lots of maintenance updates, even on the most secure systems. I like what I have seen so far and am interested in seeing more in the coming weeks. Grade A-Reply from Linux Kodachi 8.27
