This is great because now (F)OSS and non-American solutions are being brought to the table and it shows how much Europe has. And these alternatives or those of us who have been using it for years are the norm and Big Tech is the alternatives 😁 but the developers are getting noticed and that's great. That's also one of the good things about this situation

Por cuestiones de trabajo tengo W10 montado en mi ordenador, necesito #DavinciResolve para editar y mi gráfica es #AMD, por lo que usarlo en #linux es un dolor de cabeza.
Montar un arranque dual W10 y #linux tampoco es factible ahora mismo, por lo que he pensado en usar una distro en un usb booteable para las tareas cotidianas, internet, bancos, edición de archivos, etc, y usar W10 únicamente cuando tenga que editar, aunque es importante que desde la distro pueda acceder a los HDD de almacenamiento interno que tengo montados, que están formateados en ExFAT
¿Pensáis que es una buena opción o me estoy flipando? Me gustaría que fuese una distro enfocada en privacidad ¿#Tails o #ParrotOS? ¿Conocéis alguna otra?

Kali Linux и Parrot OS

Kali Linux и Parrot OS — это два самых популярных дистрибутива Linux, разработанных специально для нужд кибербезопасности и тестирования на проникновение. Они имеют много общего в функциональности, но различаются подходами к обеспечению безопасности, интерфейсу, использованию ресурсов и встроенным инструментам. В этой статье мы детально рассмотрим оба дистрибутива, чтобы помочь вам выбрать подходящий инструмент для ваших задач.

Nope. Really not getting on with #ParrotOS

Does it get any QA, ever?

Badly formatted config files. Can't switch to XFCE4 desktop, because the metapackage specifies a dependency on xfce4-screensaver, which is non-installable. Silly shell prompts. Silly vim configs (and a silly fork of vim itself). Keymap that doesn't actually work for a virtualised UK keyboard on a UK localised host. (... and more that won't fit in a toot...)

3 wasted hours and I haven't even got a workable desktop, yet.
