Linux Kodachi


Last Update: 2023-02-22 12:24 UTC


Linux Kodachi is a Debian-based distribution which can be run from a DVD or USB thumb drive. The distribution filters all network traffic through a VPN and the Tor network, obscuring the user's network location. The distribution attempts to clean up after itself, removing traces of its use from the computer.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 87 (137), 6 months: 97 (124), 3 months: 94 (125), 4 weeks: 92 (124), 1 week: 86 (116)

Average visitor rating: 7.98/10 from 45 review(s).

In this version of Kodachi Secure OS you get a great Dashboard that controls all networking functions including VPN,TOR, and DNS along with kill switches alarms and properties! The reason I am giving this version an 8 i! instead of the 9 or 10 it deserves is the Dashboard has to be moved to a lower work space instead of minimizing it! It needs to be running in order to hear the vulnerabilities of dropped VPN or DNS servers!!! Kodachi Still comes packet with all of the software one would need to make this OS a Everyday Operating System! The work flow is quite Easy to learn with little practice as it is intuitive! Can Be Run From Memory Off Of A Simple Flash Drive Or Use a Tool Like Ven-Toy! Or As I Have Been Doing To My NVME SSD! If Install and Encrypted On Hardware Kodachi Has A Nuke Option That Can Be Found In The Extra Tools Tab On The Bottom Dock!
After Start Up Open Up The Dashboard Located On The 1st Tab Of The Bottom Dock And Have Fun!!!!
I use the Cold Dark theme which can be downloaded from xfcelook.org and copied as root user to "/usr/share/themes/"\
I also download the BeautyLine Icon Pack and copy it as root to "/usr/share/icons/"
And Lastly Use the Bibata-Rainbow-Original Cursor pac and copy it to that same Icon Folder "/usr/share/icons/"
Then You Must Open Settings/Appearance From The Dock Under System Settings And Choose The Themes, Including Window Manager Then Open Up Mouse Settings/Themes and choose my cursor!
But That Is The Beauty Of Linux XFCE Is There Are Tons Of Themes To Choose From Already!

Where To Start?
The Dashboard is amazing! It gives you control of your VPN, TOR, DNS, Kill Switches, Ipv6, radio Signals and Updating the system! I came to Kodachi Secure OS from Windows with little or no knowledge of the Linux kernal! I resisted moving to Win11 because I have 100's of old games and software I would run on Win7! but with Windows becoming spyware I did not feel safe running those old apps! So if I am giving up my Old apps I needed to learn what is out there to replace them that is open source and most of all FREE! The developer has done a great job in assembeling the most frequently used open source software that one might need to have on their system to make it usable daily! There is also a tutorial video on how to use Kodachi to remain secure online! I really loved that Kodachi has support for several VPN's out of the gate! I use NORD myself since I have never found a free VPN that is Worth anything! They Scare me since I don't know who is looking at my DATA! The layout of the Dock and the Desktop are condusive to a productive work flow! I have tried other distro's but settled on this one because of the Dock, Dashboard, and the support for NORD. I installed it to my hardware but it can be run from a USB flashdrive or even a disk without modifying you systems harddrive at all! Give Kodachi Secure Operating System a try! There is a new version on its way built on Debian! So keep your eyes open to catch all of the GREAT Releases from the Kodachi team!
