I’ve used many privacy-focused distributions. Tails cannot be installed on a hard drive; Whonix relies on virtual machines; and Qubes is quite heavy and difficult to use. Kicksecure is very limited. Kodachi, on the other hand, is slow, bloated with unnecessary software, and also outdated.
When I discovered Securonis, I felt as if I’d found a diamond in the rough. Securonis is truly a revolution in the world of privacy. It not only provides privacy and security but also allows users to operate the system without restrictive limitations. Unlike any other privacy-focused distribution, Securonis supports the I2P network. Moreover, it’s significantly more secure than vanilla Debian.
The hardening of the FireScorpion browser is extremely impressive; in fact, I’d say it’s even stricter than the Tor Browser in some areas. The system also offers a major security advantage by wiping the swap space, RAM, logs, kernel caches, and browser history each time it shuts down.
Because it’s based on Debian Testing, the system is much harder to exploit, as the testing kernel is updated almost weekly and Securonis includes numerous kernel security configurations. However, it’s important to remember that privacy-focused distributions developed by a single person often don’t survive in the long run. Liberté Linux is one such example. Developing a privacy-focused distro is not a responsibility that everyone can shoulder, and developers in this field often experience burnout and high levels of stress.
The developer is very young but possesses impressive technical knowledge. This system fills a significant gap in the sector. I sincerely hope that both the developer and Securonis receive the support they deserve.

When I tried to install Kicksecure I got a kernel panic error and the Qubes installation failed (I don't know if it was Ventoy). Then I came across Securonis, I was pretty desperate but I wanted to give it a chance. I booted and ran it without any problems and installed the system. The system works really well, I activated tor redirection and surfed the web, everything is very easy, the browser is very secure, the only problem is that I had problems with some sites, but considering how secure the browser is, it is definitely an acceptable sacrifice. It's a system that surprised me and it really works incredibly well. I will continue with Securonis from now on. Thanks for this system. I hope the developer will continue the project.

Securonis is an interesting distribution. It has its own small ecosystem and, unlike Tails, it aims to offer privacy for everyday use. Installation and usage are quite easy; however, if you’re new to Linux, it shouldn’t be your first choice, as it requires some technical knowledge.
The desktop environment is visually appealing, and its custom applications are small but effective. Do you want to run a ClamAV scan or perhaps Lynis? You can perform everything automatically with a single menu option.
With Seconionis, you can route all your internet traffic through the Tor network and use the FireScorpion Browser, which is both simple and secure. FireScorpion’s hardening is very robust, with many settings borrowed from the Tor Browser.
My only concern about this distribution is that there’s no organization or team behind it; it’s developed entirely by a single individual. This raises some questions about the sustainability of the project. If, as planned, we see a hardened Securonis in the next release, I believe it could even replace Tails. But as I said, how far a distribution can go with only one developer remains a big question mark.

Securonis is neither as anonymity-focused as Tails or Whonix, nor as hardened as Kicksecure or Qubes. But that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s a well-designed distribution that allows everyday users to get things done without ads or tracking. In fact, it reminds me a lot of Septor in its purpose, though the approach here is more user-friendly and modern.
I don’t understand why people keep comparing Securonis to Tails or similar systems. Sure, Tails may be more secure in theory, but it’s not meant to be installed and used as a daily system. Securonis is the opposite. It’s designed specifically for daily use with a strong focus on privacy, which makes it quite unique.
Being based on Debian Testing and receiving regular updates is a huge advantage for any privacy-oriented distro. Some so-called privacy distributions haven’t been updated in years.
Hardware compatibility is excellent. It worked flawlessly even on my old laptop. Thanks to the MATE desktop environment, the system is lightweight and responsive. Overall, everything feels thoughtfully crafted.
The Securonis Password Manager might be my favorite feature. It’s incredibly easy to use, and there are many other useful tools built into the system. One thing I’d love to see improved is packaging these tools as separate .deb files for use on other Debian-based systems. Securonis already has a small but well-designed ecosystem of tools. I also hope to see support for more desktop environments in the future. Since it’s maintained by a single developer, I totally understand the current limitations.
If you're an average user who wants to improve privacy without dealing with complex setups, Securonis is definitely worth a try. This project truly deserves more recognition.

Despite a script error message during the first install,Second time around no problems. I can only say how easy to set up and use this Distro is. I suspect the script error was down to me installing it on Virtualbox, so I wont diss it by being mean with my rating.
Everythig just works.
As mentioned I am running this Distro in Virtualbox on a Parrotsec host. Being a lightweight system it runs smoothly and briskly even though my laptop is 10 years old. Incidentally,, I am not a big fan of Mate-desktop but even that has not taken away from my level of satisfaction. I have also experimented with a Plasms-desktop. It worked fine, if not a little slower so i have reverted to default.
If you have an interest in privacy I would certainly give Securonis a good workout, I dont think you will be disappointed, this Distro deserves some respect.
Congrats

After spending months testing privacy-oriented Linux distributions, I stumbled upon Securonis Linux, and finally, my search has ended. I've tried many privacy-focused systems—some were outdated and cumbersome, others overly complex without offering genuine security enhancements. Securonis, however, stands apart distinctly.
What impressed me most about Securonis is its carefully crafted ecosystem of custom tools. It doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary features, nor does it compromise usability in pursuit of security. Instead, it delivers precisely what's needed: effective encryption, built-in Tor integration, and an intuitive yet minimalist interface.
While the project is still young, the level of polish is remarkable for a distro maintained by a single developer. There are minor quirks here and there, but these are easily forgivable considering the pace of improvements and the developer’s clear enthusiasm and transparency.
I genuinely believe that Securonis fills an important niche. It provides privacy enthusiasts like myself with a clean, reliable, and trustworthy Linux environment, something that's increasingly rare nowadays. This distribution deserves recognition and support, and I eagerly look forward to its continued development.

After the Septor project was discontinued, I began searching for a reliable and privacy-focused Linux distribution. I tried Kodachi but unfortunately it was so outdated that it couldnt even receive system updates anymore. On top of that I had serious concerns about its transparency and overall trustworthiness.
Then I came across Securonis Linux, and I must say this was the distribution I had been searching for all these years. The fact that it is completely open source immediately gained my trust. Securonis doesn’t just promise privacy it reflects it in every detail I was especially impressed by its encryption tools.
Securonis truly made me feel that it's different from other systems. Its custom-built tools, seamless Tor integration, and purposeful design all work exactly as intended. It doesn't overwhelm the user with unnecessary complexity, yet offers advanced features for those who want to dig deeper.
I sincerely hope this project grows and receives the attention it truly deserves. Projects like this are rare and fill a huge gap for users who value privacy and transparency

Truly a unique and well-developed system. This is exactly what I was looking for — I just want basic privacy, my friend. Why should I carry a USB stick with me all the time, or run virtual machines within virtual machines? And why should I use a bloated, outdated system that forces VPN, Tor, DNSCrypt, and other unnecessary tools?
Securonis puts an end to all this privacy chaos. The interface is very simple and beautiful. Unlike other systems, it’s not just a respin — it has its own complete ecosystem. Dozens of custom-designed useful apps and scripts.
There are a few minor bugs, but I attribute that to it being developed by a single developer and still being in its early stages. The developer seems very enthusiastic. Since I first checked out the project, it has come a long way. I'm sure it will grow even more.
