I just wanted to be sure
You didn't even share what you tried yourself if you had tried something yourself first. More expected of someone running Kali and if you really need help with Kali more than a 1 sentence question or description is expected.
You will probably have an easier time doing a pasthrough of your wifi adapter if you use Qemu.

as a general note
Kali is a distribution constructed for one purpose only, and that is to run pentesting tools, to use it safely and effectively you need to be Linux experienced with a good knowledge of the terminal, how it works, and the common codes, if you do not meet these requirements then ,They consider you are not ready to safely use the distribution. Being able to correctly install a working Kali system ON YOUR OWN is a part of the rite of passage into the Kali community.
The pen testing distribution I am a member of is more helpful to newbies, BUT you still need to know what you're doing as answers may not be in plain English, you may be told what to do but not how to do it

I DIDN’T SAID THAT I TRIED BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS OVBIOUS
ALSO I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A WAY TO DO THAT, I’M NEW, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
IT MEANS THAT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO ASK QUESTIONS IN HERE
I WOULD HAVE ADDED INFORMATION IF YOU ASKED FOR IT
PERIOD
WE can't read mind and this isn't a psychic hotline as @JasKinasis would say. It's YOUR responsibility to provide the information that will help answer your question, especially when you are using Kali.
PERIOD

No reason to get salty. don't forget you are the one that want's something from us. You have no reason to treat us like that. Get a payd support you can screamt at. Everyone here tried to help in their free time. And you are Sh***ing on them. That's a sign of very bad character. Would you help someone in your free time if it was the other way around. Let that sink in.

OK EVERYONE CALM DOWN
we have answered the OP's question, in my second post [#15]I have asked him to go and read the full Kali documentation, on this point we can do no more.
@ThaGrInkat for information, Linux-org is manned by volunteer members across the world, most of us have many years of experience in Linux or use Linux every day in their businesses, one thing we are not supplied with are crystal balls, the quality of an answer will depend on how much information is given in the question,
Whenever you install a new OS, even if it's a new version of the one you have been using since you were 5 yrs old, you must read the full documentation first, this will tell you of any known problems, what has changes, what support is new or now deleted and in most cases much more.

Hey, I will try that, just, can the VM give internet acces to the host system?You will probably have an easier time doing a pasthrough of your wifi adapter if you use Qemu.
PCI Passthrough - Proxmox VE
No problem if it doesn’t, just that it would be awesome if it did
I also want to apologize to everyone (especially @Brickwizard ), I admit that I didn’t formulated my question correctly, and that I got mad with you guys, for something that was entirely my fault
I have not tried doing a passthrough of a network adapter but I have done so with a gpu for one of my vm that's running on Proxmox which uses Qemu. As you are running Kali is based on Debian testing, the following link should help you set it up
Setting up Libvirt QEMU and KVM stack on Debian
QEMU-KVM based virtualization is at the heart of Linux based virtualization stack. It is free and open source and is one of the most prevalent virtualization technology across the industry.

As for how quite a few of us reacted(including me). We get quite a few people posting with questions about Kali and don't know basic Linux stuff and only want to use Kali because of wanting to learn to Hack and don't bother with getting enough experience with Linux before jumping to Kali and it can get quite annoying so I myself reacted out of annoyance it wasn't a personal thing. I apologize as well for having reacted that way it's sort of automatic. I see that you have a different attitude since you continued where most others would just leave and give up, I would advise you also to play with some others distributions as well to get down the basics of Linux since it will give you an easier time dealing with Kali as well.
Most people on this forum will do the best they can to help you but mostly try to avoid topics involving Kali.
I've done it with ethernet ports. ( Just be sure you have more than 1 NIC when you do this ) don't use your
primary host LAN NIC.
I've also done it with external USB adapters ( a lot more of a pain ).
All too often Kali users who come to Linux.org do not have the experience to benefit from Kali Linux. They have heard of Kali from somewhere and are eager to try it without a full understanding of what it is and how it is used appropriately.
I just want to say to @ThaGrInkat that people here tend to be a little harsh in threads from Kali users. There is no malice, but all too often the question the user asks is the wrong one. The real question from those users should be "What do I need to learn today so I can benefit from Kali Linux someday in the future?" rather than asking "How do I accomplish XYZ in Kali Linux?"
You got painted with that same brush, but don't let it bother you. Hang in there and you will find a bunch of very smart, friendly, and helpful people who know a lot about Linux and computer systems in general.

Which distro would you recommend for getting started?I have not tried doing a passthrough of a network adapter but I have done so with a gpu for one of my vm that's running on Proxmox which uses Qemu. As you are running Kali is based on Debian testing, the following link should help you set it up
At the part where they edit xml files you can just install virt-manager, which is a gui to manage your vm's.Setting up Libvirt QEMU and KVM stack on Debian
QEMU-KVM based virtualization is at the heart of Linux based virtualization stack. It is free and open source and is one of the most prevalent virtualization technology across the industry.
I have never tried it with a wireless network adapter but it should work as well, as for if your vm can give you host network access technically it would probably be possible some how but I have never tried it. It would probably involve setting up some firewall rules and it would get quite complicated so I can't advice you on that . If you are asking this because you only have one network card in your system, if you want my opinion I wouldn't go that direction since there are better options. If I were you I would buy one of the Kali supported usb wifi adapters have assign that to your Kali vm.Code:apt install virt-manager

Thanks man!
@Brickwizard already gave you a few options, probably a few of the same ones I would have recommended.
