Still my OS of choice for my first-ever generation Samsung Chromebook (exynos). Unfortunately, they stopped providing images - does anyone know if the build scripts still work for exynos based chromebook? (Or if other distros do?)

#82Earlier quoted context omitted.
Having watched a bunch of videos of people who bought NeXT computers recently, I can confirm that the shell they saw when running Terminal.app was csh. It would be a hell of a coincindence if all of them had happened to change from the default to csh.
Also MacOS switch to zsh was pretty recent (used to be bash). https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208050 Must have been some confusion here.
No there's no confusion. Maybe you thought I meant it was the default shell, I didn't. It's simply installed with everything else. The list is sh, csh, and zsh.
The executable is on the machine. An operating system can have more than a single shell executable. Do you want me to post the binary? Screen shots? Maybe turn on an ssh hole? Perhaps send the man page? I can do all of this.
You can log in remotely and run it if you so desire.
I might be able to coerce VNC even although I'd probably need up port it to openstep (I've ported vnc before). Maybe there's a virtual box way of doing it as well

#84I always thought Kali wasn't really for daily use. Not a vehicle for every day driving around town, more like a secondary vehicle you only use for work. HiDPI, tool icons, and gnome themes make it seem otherwise. Sure, these things are nice whether you're using it for work or play, but I wonder. Is anybody running kali as their daily driver?

The stackexchange sites get questions like "hey, I am using Kali because all the cool hackers use it, but my Wifi hardware doesn't work, and I cannot install my favorite browsers, what should I do?" from absolute newbies about every week or so.

#86With a heavy heart I join the rest of the zsh discussion because these aren’t even factual: > You can do a lot of advanced things with bash, and customize it to do even more, but ZSH allows you to do even more. Bash can do a lot of things zsh can’t, and vice versa. > Fish is a nice shell (probably nicer than ZSH), but realistically it was not a real consideration due to the fact that it is not POSIX compatible. Neith…
What we really need here is for someone to explain why all of these issues are moot because Emacs the best, most ethical solution.
Emacs is bloated, nano all the way :)

#87Can anyone recommend training for offensive security and/or Kali Linux pentesting? I've been wanting to explore that branch for a long time, I'd really appreciate some great resources for an engineer with no pentesting experience.
No better place than the source: https://www.offensive-security.com/courses-and-certification...

Thats free, and a great place to start if you are not sure if this field is right for you. Only needs a time investment.

#89I wonder why this zsh thing is such a huge change. Bash is just a chsh command away :)

You definitely shouldn't use it as a daily. However, Offensive Security is trying to make it a smooth experience given that quite a bit of time is spent using it for penetration tests, CTFs, etc in addition to "competition" from ParrotOS. Most folks that I know would switch to it anyway so having it be the default makes it easier.
Can you elaborate why someone shouldn't use it as a daily driver?
I have used Linux for a decade now and I just got a friend interested in it and his pick was Kali because he was interested in learning about security stuff.
I took a quick look at it and saw that it was debian based and XFCE is my favourite desktop environment so I figured he'd be alright with it.
