Whats wrong with Kali Linux?

Basically, it's an expression of my frustration with the hordes of newcomes to Linux who've seen Mr. Robot and think they too can become super hackers by downloading an ISO off of the internet. Kali is a great system, but it's a great system for people who know what they're doing. It breaks numerous rules and praxes which, for a normal desktop user, is devastating.

First of all, it is NOT meant for installation onto a hard drive. It's made for booting as a live USB, doing what you need to, and then shutting down to reset to a clean environment. By default, Kali doesn't do 99% of the things a normal desktop user expects.

Secondly, Kali runs as a single-user root. That means that all programs run with Kali have full system access. It's great for people who know what they're doing (and are booting from a USB, so that any changes don't matter anyway) and need quick access to everything, but it's catastrophic for desktop use. Almost all of the security benefits of Linux go out the

I have my dotfiles in a directory called ~/dotfiles in my home directory that is the repository. I move my files there, and remove the dot. Then I have a script to symlink them out. But etckeeper works differently...

With etckeeper, you would initialize the repo inside /etc, not a sub directory. This should be fine, but it creates complications because your gitignore needs to be a whitelist instead of a blacklist.

Using etckeeper

Pushing

The first thing that you should do, is create /etc/.gitignore. Etckeeper does this automatically, with some defaults, but you want a whitelist, not a blacklist, so add a single * in the file. This should prevent etckeeper from doing git add for all your files.

When you've used Windows your whole life, Linux feels like the first time you went in for a kiss with a girl. Your heart is beating but you're trying to remain calm. You're not sure what it will be like, you're nervous. A part of you wants to run, but your legs have stopped working. Your knee is shaking, and then you're kissing. It suddenly isn't as wonderful as you thought, nor is it any bad at all. It just is. But then you want more, and more, and a month later you're hugging and kissing and touching and thinking but you're not going all the way. Then you leave her for another girl who puts out in the ways you want.
