Parrot OS 4.6 - Initial Thoughts

I tried Parrot and couldn’t stand it.

Stable system and ran well on my older testing machine BUT I couldn’t do anything without messing with this and that and the other thing and typing my root or sudo password every 5 minutes 20 times .
Took me 15 minutes to get my sdcard mounted one day.
I was surprised it didn’t want the root password to change the wallpaper that’s how bad it was in my experience.
They have it all way too locked down for my tastes but it is a security os and it is setup to be secure even in your house if you happen to walk away and leave the screen unlocked.

I still love my Kali, but I tried an earlier version of parrot before, and after the hours pain for the initial updates I actually liked it alot.
So I went to try for the new version recently, and, the same old slow % update speed turned me off again.
Gotta be a faster update somehow.
Slower than windows. At least it doesn’t have to do it twice.

They’re all based on Debian for a reason.
Cut out the middle man LoL.

awesome have been useing since your firts review enjoy it alot

What command are you asking about?

Th command used by Hackersploit in the above picture.

I had an issue with browser not connecting to net in spite of being able to ping from terminal in 3.7 and suddenly a similar problem again in 4.6.

Haven’t found a fix.

Tried true in networkmanager.conf as was a fix I. Kali with similar problem.

Maybe back to Kali if I can’t fix it

apt install htop

Then just type htop in your terminal

As far as what it is telling you and how it works I can’t comment on because I don’t fully understand it myself.
