What's up guys! I'm starting this thread for all my fellow noobs out there who are trying to get into Kali Linux but feel overwhelmed by the steep learning curve. In this thread, I'll be sharing a step-by-step guide on setting up Kali Linux from scratch, perfect for those who have never used a Linux distro before. Let me know if you have any specific questions!

"Lol, finally a step-by-step guide for noobs! I've used Kali for pentesting, but I remember when I first started with it, I had a few bumps along the way. Glad to see someone creating a resource for newbies to follow"

Just installed Kali on my old laptop and I gotta say, it's super easy to set up. The new Kali ISO even comes with a pretty sweet installer script, just follow the prompts and you're good to go. Been playing with it for a bit, pretty stoked so far.

"Hey guys, I just want to chime in and say thanks for the guide! I was able to get kali set up yesterday using it and it's been a game changer for my security testing. Anyone know if the live USB creator is still needed or if we can just use the .iso straight from the download?"

"Hey guys, just a heads-up - don't forget to add the Kali Linux repository in your sources.list file before trying to update the system. Trust me, it'll save you a lot of headache. Has anyone tried using the Kali Linux live USB on a Mac?"

"Lol I've got a friend who's been using Kali for years and even he's like, 'it's way too complex for a noob.' But hey, if someone wants to give it a shot, I guess starting with a step-by-step guide is a solid idea. Has anyone actually tried to set it up from scratch?"
