Kodachi: Six Consecutive Years of TechRadar Recognition
The Birth of a Vision
In the quiet solitude of October 2013, an idea took root in Warith AL Maawali’s mind. It would soon grow into a project known as Linux Kodachi, today Kodachi OS. That seed has grown into a mighty tree, and for the sixth consecutive year, from 2020 to 2025, its branches have reached the top of TechRadar’s privacy and security list.
Updated October 2026: Linux Kodachi is now Kodachi OS 10, based on Debian 13 and published at kodachi.cloud. In the 2025 edition of TechRadar’s guide to the best Linux distro for privacy and security (updated August 2025), Kodachi is ranked first, as the best overall.
