People don't seriously try to use Kali as a daily driver, do they? That's just a meme, right? Right?

When I was a kid I installed it and was like "hooHOO, me hacker", so there are silly things like that.

Nevermind me being too intimidated by CLI to do anything in Linux at the time lmfao.

It's been a while since I've thought about it, so what are the reasons why it's a bad daily driver? I assume there's poor support for drivers, hardware, etc.?

Or is it when you do pen testing you don't want to leave traces of yourself? I'm not a cybersecurity guy, so I genuinely don't know.

Don't need to go any further than "default user is root."

Oh yikes LOL.

I understand why Kali needs that for Kali things but hoo boy.

Thanks for succinctly explaining.

there was a point where script kiddies thought using Kali meant installing Kali, so at one point yes it has been used as a daily driver.

I remember having a conversation with a coworker who was getting into Linux when Kali was a big deal for script kiddies. He told me he installed it and I was like "dude you want it to be a read only OS, don't install it. Just boot to it from a CD or USB." We went back and forth on that for weeks until I just gave up and labeled him an idiot in my mind.
