  Kali is not for actual every day use.

  You can install all of its included tools on whatever distro you want.

    gotcha! thank u, sir/ma’am/nb. which distro would you recommend?

    source

      Arch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there's nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that -march native).

      Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I'd hold off until you're comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.

        i seriously am more of a tinkerer than anything else so i think i will stick with arch. thanks for the tip!

      distro barely matters beyond how you get the packages.

      there’s a reason arch is popular, it can be whatever you want it to be.

      tbh, it sounds like you don’t have a great understanding of Linux (not an attack!) so I would definitely stay away from Kali, and other distros like that.

      stick with Arch if you’re confident you can maintain it, or if you want to have a system which you don’t have to poke at Fedora is a great option

        Is it possible to create a shim to make keyboard shortcuts act like macOS? I don’t think I can live with ctrl+shift+c when command/super is right there.

      Other hardcore options include Gentoo or just going Linux from scratch.

  I thought the “hardcorer” alternative to Arch was LFS

    Not if you are a 1337 H4XX0R like the baddass you’re answering to.

    LFS is for memes. I guess Nix is a level up from Arch.

    source

    • merci3@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Hmm, I personally place Nix at the same level as Arch, because I see both distros being hard to get into because of how different they do stuff when compared to the average OS.

      Maybe the real level up is trying to run BSD on unsupported hardware?

      source

      • Laser@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Arch is easier in my opinion, at least if you want to leverage the power NixOS can offer. A simple /etc/nixos/configuration.nix maybe not, but once you enter custom options / submodule territory and use stuff like lib.mapAttrs, I’d say NixOS is quite harder. Or just a more complex overrideAttrs. But then again, Arch doesn’t have an equivalent to that…

        source

        The real level up is bare-metal Emacs.

        Shame this OS does not come with a solid text editor.

    i’m new to this shit (started arch yesterday) so i dunno

    i use my macOS terminal all fucking day so i know my way around a linux interface, it’s more or less the same shit (macOS uses zsh and linux uses bash…the syntaxes are almost identical, if you know one, you know the other)

      You’re going to feel right at home with TempleOS.

        i’m autistic and schizophrenic

        people seriously have compared me to the guy who made it (why tf can’t i remember his name)

      Nice to know you’re enjoying Linux :P

      I think that later on in your adventure, you’ll notice that you don’t actually need a distro that’s hard to maintain in order to do the hardcore stuff.

      Going back to more tame distros (Mint, Debian, Fedora, Solus) may actually suit you better, even for said tasks.

        what would you recommend for cybersecurity? i’m interested in a few things (shell scripting, web dev, nlp), but i’d also really liek to know how to stop hackers
