When do you think Kali 2025.1 should be released?
There are 4 releases per year I think, therefore it should be this month.When do you think Kali 2025.1 should be released?
compromised? how?I'm waiting for Kali 2025.1 to come out, so I make a new USB stick and reinstall Kali from scratch because in my opinion what I currently have installed it is compromised (2024.4)
apt
Just install or switch to Debian testing repos then?btw. for the last week I'm seriously considering to switch from Debian to Kali as daily driver.
Reason is simple, Kali pulls packages from Debian testing and experimental so I'll have latest packages while preserving Debian environment.
Not an option because Debian testing still contains a lot of outdated packages.Just install or switch to Debian testing repos then?
You would have to remove all the stuff you don't use if you installed Kali other option is depending on of what newer packages you want is that you could use Flatpaks for those packages, those are mostly up-to-date with upstream.Kali however doesn't use only testing packages, many of them are from upstream repos, mostly those which are out of date in testing.
Not really, I'll use netinstaller and install minimal system and minimal desktop, and then add stuff later as needed.You would have to remove all the stuff you don't use if you installed Kali
I really don't like flatpak. too much clutter for my taste.other option is depending on of what newer packages you want is that you could use Flatpaks for those packages
I have been using kali Linux for a long time as a daily driver, and I assure you that it is a great thing and you will never regret it. (and if anyone advise against this I don't care)btw. for the last week I'm seriously considering to switch from Debian to Kali as daily driver.

Secondly Kali no longer has issues that it used to have that prevented people from using it as daily driver.
And last but not least, I want to boost my skills beyond just Linux and capitalize on existing skills.
I'v never noticed that Kali had a minimal installer as I thought the whole idea of Kali is that you get recent packages and all the security and pen-testing packages with it. I'll install it in a vm again one of these days to see how that is.Not really, I'll use netinstaller and install minimal system and minimal desktop, and then add stuff later as needed.
I also was of opinion how Kali is not to be used as daily driver, but realized it's all just one big hoax that get repeated all over the internet like a broken record.and if anyone advise against this I don't care
All of them, I'm sick of Debian's stable system policy, KDE plasma 6 has been released but Trixie which will be released in next 3 months will ship with old Plasma 5, this bothers me the most and is one of the major reasons I'll leave Debian behind.depending on of what newer packages you want
Yeah, it has netinst.iso image just like Debian for installation over internet. and if you want you can install it without any pentesting tools at all during "select software" phase, you can even install it without desktop and then later install minimal desktop package.I'v never noticed that Kali had a minimal installer as I thought the whole idea of Kali is that you get recent packages and all the security and pen-testing packages with it.

I think it probably has to with all the I want to be hacker type posts please help me with Kali or something like that.I also was of opinion how Kali is not to be used as daily driver, but realized it's all just one big hoax that get repeated all over the internet like a broken record.
That's true, there are too many silly and basic questions about Kali that is really the only reason why people dislike Kali.I think it probably has to with all the I want to be hacker type posts please help me with Kali or something like that.
I have installed Kali Linux 2024.4 (with all the tools) for a long time alongside two other LInux distributions, but I almost always use Kali.I did my research and I'm sure it can be used as daily driver just fine.
I'm considering dual boot, but probably won't because it will only take space.I have installed Kali Linux 2024.4 (with all the tools) for a long time alongside two other LInux distributions, but I almost always use Kali.

That's fine if you don't install too much of software, my current Debian install consumes 275GB.I have installed Kali alongside Debian12 and Peppermint OS.
The last operating system you install takes the GRUB, but if you prefer another one, you just have to use Timeshift and restore the operating system you want and this will take the GRUB.That's fine if you don't install too much of software, my current Debian install consumes 275GB.
Dual boot will mean either duplication of that or frequent switch from main OS to another one which is not convenient.
My hard disk has 500GB total and divided by three partitions are about 166 GB per partition, which depends on the software you have to install (I created a larger partition for Kali (about 200GB) because I use it as a daily driver)That's fine if you don't install too much of software, my current Debian install consumes 275GB.
