I'm new to the Linux world and I have to say I'm loving these live ISO repair and rescue distros which can be loaded on a single USB drive and booted from Ventoy. Some of them seem redundant if you've already downloaded another similar distro. But Kaisen is different. The sheer number of packages included make this a must have. Often there are 2 or 3 of each type of app to choose from. Quite a few apps are network or developer related which isn't my arena. But there are plenty of apps that I can and do work with. I also like that you can set up persistence.

kaisen is a good linux distribution, I find it quite easy to use and it's quite quick to get started. I installed it on an old laptop for testing and computer troubleshooting.
This distribution could be a very good alternative to Kali Linux, or Parrot Linux.
The fact that it is in Rolling Release, offers me the possibility of having a
system regularly updated at the application level.
Having hard drive repair software and numerous antivirus and anti-rootkit software is a plus

Long live Kaisen Linux!

I recently had the opportunity to test out Kaisen Linux, and although it is still under development, my initial experience has been quite positive. While I haven't had the chance to explore every feature thoroughly, the aspects I've encountered so far have left me impressed.

One standout feature of Kaisen Linux is its streamlined approach to applications. Unlike other distributions that come bundled with a plethora of unnecessary software, Kaisen Linux opts for a more minimalist approach. This not only ensures a lean and efficient operating system but also makes it suitable for running on even the most modest hardware configurations. It's refreshing to see a Linux distribution that prioritizes performance and resource efficiency without compromising functionality.

Moreover, I must commend the Kaisen Linux team for their remarkable responsiveness and support. Whenever I encountered an issue or had a question, the staff was quick to assist and provide the necessary guidance. Their dedication and commitment to user satisfaction are highly commendable. It's reassuring to know that should any problems arise, there's a reliable support system in place.

Kaisen Linux is undoubtedly a promising project, and I'm excited to witness its future updates. The developers' commitment to refining and enhancing the distribution is evident, and I eagerly anticipate the new features and improvements that will be introduced over time. It's important to note that Kaisen Linux is not a Kali distribution, despite any misconceptions floating around. It has its own unique identity and stands out as a separate and noteworthy Linux distribution.

In conclusion, my experience with Kaisen Linux has been predominantly positive. Its lightweight nature, coupled with its dedicated team and responsive support, make it a distribution worth considering, especially for those seeking an efficient and hassle-free Linux experience. While it's still in development, I have high hopes for Kaisen Linux and eagerly await its progress in the Linux community.

Ps : It's oriented for sysadmin users
