Read this.

(If you're asking that question, you should almost certainly be using a different distro.)

"Hopefully, now you know if you need to install Kali Linux or not. If you have decided to install Kali Linux then, we welcome you to our community.

If not, then see you later, and remember always “Try Harder”."


So Kali is for tryhards?

^ Don't take it personally. You need to understand that there are a lot of newbies who want to use Kali Linux because of a certain TV show. This was such a problem a few years ago that a special thread was created on this forum, to provide guidance to said newbies: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ad-4175614092/

You also need to know that Kali has no special abilities over any other Linux distribution. Any Linux distribution can be made to do what Kali does... but the point is that you have to learn to crawl before you can walk.

The nature of your question and the fact that you don't already know the answer makes for the easy assumption that you're a newbie who would be better served by a different distro.

The words of the Kali distributors themselves: "If you are looking for a Linux distribution to learn the basics of Linux and need a good starting point, Kali Linux is not the ideal distribution for you."

Kali is NOT a good distribution to learn on. Once you have learned (a LOT) it is a good distribution for certain things you already know how to do from other experiences. It has a wonderful collection of tools in one place for what it does, but it does not teach and it does not hold your hand through the disasters that result from using the wrong tool for learning.

By far the safest way to "learn about Linux" is to use a Virtual Machine on whatever is your existing host system. I prefer VirtualBox® because it is full-featured, absolutely free, runs on everything, and is backed by one of the largest software corporations in the world. (Oracle: the "humongous database" people ...)

Now, you can spin-up a virtual machine – as many of them as you want – and have a completely-authentic experience of "using Linux." It runs in a window (or full-screen). But you can't harm anything about the host system. All of the things that the virtual machine "thinks it sees," including "hard drives," are in fact provided by the host environment.

You can, of course, then "run containers" in that Linux world that you have created. Any sort of container technology you prefer, or just want to experiment with.
