Can someone please explain the phenomenon of clueless retards always picking Kali?
Like how on earth someone new to Linux with the willpower to actually waste time and try it ends up on the Kali Linux download page?


OP can you explain your motivation behind choosing this particular distribution and not any of the widely recommended to people of all knowledge levels?

I'm preparing for college. My major will be in cybersecurity.

Kali is Debian based so you have to use a Debian package manager. Apt-get is for Ubuntu

>>58811337

nice get.

apt-get works for some commands.

Yet you're too dumb to figure out that flashplugin-installer doesn't exist in debian's repositories which kali is based on.

Ubuntu has all the packages you will probably need throughout your course.


>>58811337
apt, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic are all frontends to dpkg.

Learn Linux (with Arch/Fedora/Debian/Gentoo)
then learn Cyber Security Distros (Blackarch,Kali,...)

>>58811396

alright, so don't be an asshole and just please tell me how to install flash and other plugins

Use a freedom respecting search engine and find out.

>>58811427
I just told you.

Ubuntu comes with all these doodads by default (or at least offers them during the installation)

So install Ubuntu. If you've used kali for at least a day, switching to it won't hurt since basic system management (package management) stays the same.

>>58811464

how about if i want to continue using kali. what do i do.

>>58811464

>what do i do.
Take a solid brick and hit yourself repeatedly in the head until you realize that by using kali you're limiting yourself to a sub-par distro with a 1-man team of maintainers and no hope of ever getting support for it.

Kali was meant to be run off of livecd in an emergency situation.


Make your life easier and install Ubuntu/Ubuntu LTS or a spinoff of it.

>>58811194
check your repos..you got rolling release ?

>>58811536
I think my Grandma could do this Better
try left clicking

>>58811536
follow the included instructions.

Jesus fucking christ

I'm a windows-using consumer who has only brushed with loonux a handful of times, and even I'm not as retarded as this moron

fuck

>>58811536
Reconsider your career choice buddy.

If you really have to be walked through opening a file called "readme.txt" and scrolling to the "how 2 install" section then I have bad news for you

>>58811314
lol faggot

>>58811482
you're a fucking idiot if you think that you're about to be using Kali for years until you get to college. You're going to drop out of CS in your first year anyways, so it's irrelevant.

>>58811536
you are a fucking idiot

idk what school you're going to but the cyber security guys at my uni, literally made fun of someone for using Kali until he dropped.

ITT: helpless underage faggot who likes Mr. Robot doesn't know how to use google

>>58811303
It's literally the logo

Kali isn't meant to be installed. It's meant to be used on a usb drive. Idiot. Go role-play as mr. robot somewhere else.

You don't need to use sudo for Kali right? It literally means "super user do" but in Kali you're already logged in as root right? So it that not pointless?

>>58811194
All you need to do is Google "xyzpackagename debian install" and look through the first 10 results. Are you fucking retarded? It can't find the package probably because it's not in the repos, or you fucked something up. If you're trying to install it on a live system, you double retarded. If you installed it, you're triple retarded. I have a feeling you installed it. Check the sources.list to make sure everything looks alright. Then update it, you stupid fuck. Here, I'll hold your hand:

"nano /etc/apt/sources.list"

After checking that, update:

"apt update"

>>58811194
Say you want to install an application, but you don't really know correct name of the package.
What you do is you search for it.
Say you want to install a spreadsheet application.
You can use either of these commands:

apt-cache search spreadsheet
apt search spreadsheet

You get a list of results you can use.
A result might look like

gnumeric/xenial,now 1.12.28-1 amd64 [installed]
  spreadsheet application for GNOME - main program

The name of the application is the first part (gnumeric) then you get distro version (xenial) and then version and so on.
What you need is the application name.
To install it use either:

sudo apt-get install gnumeric
sudo apt install gnumeric

Now it is possible that you are still unable to do this if there is a change between your cache and the server.
To update the cache use either:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt update

Same thing you do before applying upgrades:

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt upgrade

apt being the new one with better output and shorter names apt-<tool> is the old one.

Montreat College. They use Kali all the time.

>install flash and other plugins
These are consumershit plugins that kali maintainers wouldn't bother with bro

I'm fairly sure it says on their site that kali is highly customized and a lot of normie software is unsupported due to this. If you want an everyday distro use something else.
