Not to really encourage anybody but... there is a new release 2023.4! It could be downloaded from the front page of Distrowatch, on the "latest distros" list on the left-hand side.

Kali Linux (formerly known as BackTrack) is a Debian-based distribution with a collection of security and forensics tools.
It features timely security updates, support for the ARM architecture, a choice of four popular desktop environments,
and seamless upgrades to newer versions.

The problem is there are three desktop environments listed above.

Why am I starting this thread? Because it grabs my curiosity this sub-forum seems to get more posts than that of Ubuntu, for example. Something is attractive here. Without stating the obvious.

That it supports Apple M1 architecture is a best real fat big plus for some people.
