Does anyone actually use Kali Linux for something serious instead of feeling like a hax0r?

Hardly.. My bro used to use Kali as main os, but smth didn't work out. And the fact that you are root by default - it's just wrong..

I use all the tools of Kali on Manjaro.
No use using a distro that has an issue every two weeks (once, the kernel was replaced by a file that only said "fuck you")

Yes, for the first 1-7 days after moving to a new appartement and needing internet.

Let's be honest, it's way easier than going to talk to the neighbors

I've used it as main OS for a while but just distrohopped away after some time 😄

@NoToJavaScript installing bettercap along with the dumping tools isn't that hard on other distros though, now is it?

@kescherRant Well boot on a default Kali USB key with everything preinstalled is even faster. Not even need to install it

Only need it for 1 hour or something

@NoToJavaScript Ok, but the distro is still crappy for a lot of other reasons (root by default, apparently the maintainers can't secure their repos properly, ...)

You're not supposed to use Kali as your daily driver. It's just a set of tools bundled together in a pre-configured environment, hence the default root user.

AFAIK no, even a person I know that works for security uses a highly personalized version of gentoo

No one with any sense, it's just debian with tools and some specialized configuration. It's not meant to be a desktop OS.
