The Kodachi story
The complete Kodachi journey, 2005 to 2025. Six chapters, one continuous mission.
The Beginning
Beginning in 2005, my journey with Linux started on the desktop, built on a solid background in server management. Initially drawn to the flexibility of Linux Mint, I realized many of its most powerful features were hidden behind graphical interfaces. That discovery led me back to Windows for a period, but my passion for Linux never faded. By late 2012, I set out to create a secure, user-friendly alternative, starting with Linux Mint before transitioning to Ubuntu for its driver support and broader hardware compatibility. On 20 October 2013, the first version of Kodachi OS was released, marking the start of a development journey that has now spanned over 12 years.
