STOP maining Kali Linux
Over my time on the internet I’ve noticed a lot of newbies trying out Linux using Kali as their first distro, probably because it’s the “l33t h4xx0r linux”, which is true, but not in the way that you should use it as a regular user.
Kali Linux is a distribution meant for penetration testing and ethical hacking, so it’s very hardened and prepackaged with security tools. Nothing out of that is useful or needed for a regular user. In fact, the system is hardened so much that it can even be counter-productive for the user.
If you’re a new user who either got sent this article or found it through a search, I’d rather recommend something like Xubuntu, Kubuntu or Linux Mint for you to use, as those are made to be used by a regular user on a day to day basis.
I know that Arch can provide a bad experience to first time users too, but unlike Kali it’s actually meant to be dailydriven, so I weigh Arch as a better overall experience, even if it doesn’t have a preinstalled GUI.
