Wonderful job by digi77.com! Security dashboard, Free VPN, support for several paid VPNs including NORD, and tons of productivity programs! Easy to use as it uses the XFCE desktop similar to Windows 7. Try it from a live USB image!

After trying several distros, I settled on Kodachi Secure OS! The dashboard and security features are fantastic. Supports NORD VPN, has multiple layers of security, and can be run from a live boot flash drive. I don't see myself going back to Windows or Mac OS.

Thank you for Kodachi 8.7. It's a top OS and you did a great job. I used Tails, but since I found Kodachi, I'm learning fast. I'm re-downloading the OS to have an encrypted partition. Thanks again Mr. Al Maawali. Greetings from Europe.
