Purpose-built for Security Testing

What makes Kali Linux unique is its purpose-built nature for security testing. While other Linux distributions may have security tools, Kali Linux integrates a vast array of them out of the box. This saves time for professionals who require a quick setup for penetration testing and ethical hacking tasks.

Wide Array of Pre-installed Tools

Kali Linux boasts a comprehensive selection of pre-installed tools, including but not limited to Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, and Aircrack-ng. These tools cover a broad spectrum of security assessments, from network scanning to vulnerability analysis and exploitation.

It is about adding a new desktop environment, named Cosmic https://system76.com/cosmic/, to Fedora as an official supported spin/variant.

• NVIDIA Kepler (600 and 700 series) GPUs are no longer supported for NVENC.
• NVIDIA users may need to update their GPU drivers to 551.76 (Windows) / 550.54.14 (Linux) or newer.
• The code signing certificate for OBS has been updated. This may impact game capture compatibility with some anti-cheat solutions with this OBS update. If you are a game or anti-cheat developer please see https://obsproject.com/kb/capture-hook-certificate-update for more information.

Unmaintained code in the kernel is really bad due to possible vulnerabilities. If you want to keep it, it must be maintained.

This is up to the implementation of the DE 😀

Also on the phone you want probably listen to music, when it is locked.

Gnome plans to add some options like, if you want to use this feature at all or lock securely only after X time after screen is locked. But I think. the implementation hasn’t really started yet

For sure all DE will provide some options.

May s.b. will steal your laptop, when you are at lunch 😀

In general I’m with, but the standby current is really low, especially when writing the memory to disk…

When locking the screen. The running programs will freeze until you unlock it again.

One important benefit will be, that it discards the key when locking the screen (when integrated in the DE). So the drive is protected when you are not at your machine. The old mechanism only discards the key when restarting the computer. But who shuts his/hers laptop down…

Did you try FreeCAD 1.0 rc?

No, I don’t think so.

Snap WTF?

Cool. Thanks for sharing!

when calling cat <(echo data from the stdin stream) from_file.txt, you get the data in the first argument from a stream. With the .bash_logout I do not have much experience yet.

Depending how deep you want to dive into Linux, there is a great ebooks collection available:

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/linux-for-seasoned-admins-oreilly-books

You mean sth like cat <(history | cut -c 8-) history.txt | sort | uniq > history.txt? Not sure if it possible to remove the file names.

It should probably work to put it in .bash_logout.

I added a description.

Thanks. Fixed
