[QUOTE="murankar, post: 180516, member: 274"] After almost 20 plus year with the OS and the many years of playing with Arch it was a tough choice. I have a number of reasons why I chose Arch one being it is what the steam deck uses for its base OS. I get a ton of steam support built in with the ground up. Running BTRFS was fairly straight forward at install time and I get native built in backup support through backtrack. The AUR has a ton of packages that just work and if you add the Black Arch repo you add a ton of IT apps that can be very usefully depending on what your doing. My runner up is a pure Debian build with Mate and XFCE4. Debian is a little bit heavy on resources but it is and next gold standard next to RedHat. Everything else out there is fluff to me. Novells openSuse is a RedHat derivative that doesnt get a lot of love. I am checking out the XFCE4 tumbleweed edition right now. For my end state its not there yet. The package support for pen testing is lacking at best. Kali is debian based so I would just build it from that base and add the repos. [/QUOTE]
