I’ve run Armbian Jammy with the XFCE desktop before. I actually really appreciate you bringing up Armbian. Even if I can’t though, I think I’m going to at least keep it on a USB. I’ll have to look into to how to do that. I think I can actually modify it to pull completely from testing, or maybe even from stable. From an initial search, I was able to find out that Kali does use some of the Debian testing repositories. That’s my goal is to get as close to a stock Debian build as possible. Wow, I really appreciate all of that information! None of it went over my head. But I don’t know how well Kali devs maintain their software. If it’s the later, I would trust Kali less than Debian, because your software may not be up to date. With that said, I don’t know if Kali is just a rebrand of Debian with security tools preinstalled, or if they are using their own repositories. Then stop, disable and mask all those services, and finally, do an apt list and remove the software you don’t need. Just do a systemctl -l and do a list of whatever you don’t need. But the chances of that happening are kinda low, especially if you are not accepting unfiltered traffic from the internet. It can in theory increase your attack surface, because you are running a lot of software, so there could be many libraries that could get exploited. I don’t think Kali is running any custom kernel. If you even remove the software, even better. IMO, as long as you are not running any services that you don’t need, you should be fine. If you change to something lighter, you’re not going to have that issue.īut going back to the main topic. It’s GNOME Shell that uses 1.25GB of RAM or more at boot. The only reason I did is so that I didn’t get the typical, you shouldn’t run Kali if you’re not a pen tester. I probably shouldn’t have even said anything about the Raspberry Pi though, because I knew it would turn into a discussion about that rather than the Kali operating system that I asked about. I have a 4GB model, so I don’t want to run it until they improve performance. First Look At System 76’s POP!_Pi OS For Raspberry Pi 4, by 9 to 5 Linux. That’s not good news for those with 2GB or 4GB RAM on their Raspberry Pis, but I guess System76 still has some performance tweaks under their sleeves since this is a tech preview. As one review article says:Īs you can see from the top image, Pop!_Pi eats about 1.25GB of RAM during the initial boot without any application opened. The problem with it is that it’s only what’s called a “tech preview” and still under development. I’ve been running it for weeks now with no problems whatsoever. As I explained in my post, everything works just fine with Kali. This is even documented in the Debian Wiki. The only issue I have with Debian is that the audio doesn’t work all the time. So if I strip down the software to make it something more like a daily driver, is it safe to use? Thanks! I’m in the process of removing and purging all the software I don’t need, because I’m not a pen tester or security expert. I’ve already been running it, and everything works perfectly. It’s purely about functionality on the Raspberry Pi, because I’m really, really tired of having to troubleshoot all the time. I don’t want to run it to say “I use Kali”. I’m not going to run Ubuntu - Canonical - and after weeks and weeks of searching, it’s really my only option. Kali is the only Debian-based distribution I’ve found where everything just works for the Raspberry Pi, and I’m used the apt frontend for the package manager. As you probably know, since the Rpi runs on ARM architecture, I’m very limited as to the distributions I can run, or else I’d probably go with Linux Mint Debian Edition or Peppermint OS (x86). I’m so used to Debian’s package manager and I want a Debian-based distro. I don’t want to run Ubuntu, or Manjaro, both of which I can pull from the Raspberry Pi imager and problem solved. Pulseaudio, Pipewire, modifying boot and config files, etc. It works sometimes, but then randomly stops working, almost always after a reboot or on start-up, then sometimes it works if I reboot. I absolutely love, love, love Debian, but I can’t get the audio to work. Maybe the person didn’t know what they were talking about. The question I have is this: Is it true that it’s easier to get hacked if you run Kali as your OS, because it’s used for pen testing, etc.? I can’t remember exactly where I heard that, but it was recent, from a tech channel. So there’s an official Kali ISO for the Raspberry Pi 4.
