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

Although it has fews repositories in order to upgrade sys just aftter installing, the experience is good enough.
Intalling through NetInstall takes a decade!
It has programms that doesn't work apropriatly and some of them are paramonts, like TESTDISK which save me a lot of time. Othes doesn't work due to plugins which are not installeble, as recovery mode of GPART.
But indeed, something which has a great future among specifics distros.
Great good will for the developers may bring improvements, but not right now, for a while...
Congrats and keep going!

Very good distribution under development.
I particularly appreciate that this distribution does not look like a Kali distribution
The performance (speed) is good.
A good distribution should not contain too many unnecessary applications.
Kaisen Linux respects for my needs the number of really useful and necessary applications.
All my encouragement to the development team and continue the project that must enhance this distribution.
Anyone working in Linux, in a non monolithic environment would really enjoy the diversity of tools available with the standard install, be it for development or troubleshooting.

I run this Kaisen on many of my devices. It fullfill my requirenment perfectly. But there are also some caveats, you should know if you didn't use it in the past:
- Some Software like Anydesk is broken, because of missing librarys
- You should consider using Flatpaks and Appimages, instead of installing it by the package manager
- Learn using the BTRFS snapshots, because Updates tend to sometimes break the os
But it also has very much advantages, if you are a experienced Linux user. I'll keep it using on my job and also my private environment. If you had issues, you can always get quick and excellent help on the support channels of the Developer and from other Users.

Kaisen Linux Review
Kaisen Linux claims to be a distribution targeted at sysadmins. Having said that, it has a much broader appeal in my opinion.
Anyone working in Linux, in a non monolithic environment would really enjoy the diversity of tools available with the standard install, be it for development or troubleshooting.
Notably, VirtualBox, QEMU, docker, ansible, VSCodium, Wireshark as well as heaps of other admins and network useful tools, too numerous to mention come pre-installed.
I am using the KDE version. I tried the other versions as well but the KDE was the one that worked out of the box with my multi 4K and 2K monitors.
Using BTRFS and having a very cool update script which allows for a rapid reversal to the earlier version in case of failure, this is very much a rolling release of Debian. I upgrade my system very night before shutting down and have done so since I started using it two months ago and I have had very few issues. None that were not resolved in record time.
More importantly, the maintainer of this distribution is extremely quick in helping anyone who has an issue. Simply go and check-out the forum to see what is a rapid response in support.
In summary Kaisen Linux is an excellent BTRFS Debian rolling distribution for sysadmins and developers with exemplary support.

Very good distribution under development.
Sincerely, it has what it takes for network management and why not make it a desktop?

Not bad, but not quite ready to switch from Parted Magic.
Live boot needs more work instead of stopping at boot prompt. What is the different options, such as forensic? Menu options that run CLI tools needs a little more work to be more effortless in function.
Clonezilla for example when exited, leaves shell open.
Can see potential with this one in time.

I tried out the rescue edition and the MATE edition, for a (duh) data rescue, and a test on actual hardware. A very complete toolset for data recovery and poking around - in both editions. The rescue runs on xFce, but the MATE looked and behaved almost identically - they managed to break MATE?
Very promising new distro, needs quite some polish to come up to daily driver and live up to it tagline "for Professional IT". I will be watching subsequent releases with great interest!

BIG download, but it boots extremely quickly from USB and has a huge mainly terminal based amount of software/utilities pre-installed. Firefox comes with several extensions already installed including 'privacy badger' which I've never encountered before.
Default full screen terminal is not my cup of tea, nor is double clicking desktop icons - that shouldn't even be there anyway because they're all available via the taskbar. Conky looks professional, but I don't really like RAM expressed as a percentage, I want to see actual amounts, but they're all minor nitpicks and I would have preferred to see CPU-X in the hardware section too.
With Firefox running (single tab) it's using nearly 1.5 GB of RAM which would be a strain on a system with only 2 GB available, but that would be very old systems that probably can't run this 64 bit only version.
Doesn't seem to be an install option, but that's not it's forte, it's supposed to be run 'live'
As a free alternative to Partition Magic (with LOTS more software/tools than PM) it looks a winner though.

Glad to see this make the cut.
Kaisen is one of the few OS's that works with my notebook, an Acer Aspire 5 with 11th gen intel I7 with the Tiger Lake Audio. Most of the OS's I have tried since buying this new machine fail in either touchpad or audio support. This one just works right out of the box.
The only down side (if you want to call it that) is sometimes trying to find a particular program. There are so many programs, you have to do a bit of menu hopping to find it. An example is gparted. Usually it is in the system menu, but here it is under quite a few layers of menus. I'll gladly put up with that to have an OS that works....
Good show Kaisen!
