Kali CD vs OS

Hi NMGLuger's, Just read an interesting article about Kali Linux and the
change to remove 'run as Root' as the default login. That's right, Kali as
an OS may have used a root login as the default because it had a certain
aim when run from a CD as a troubleshooter system. This helps me understand
why I was a little unsure what Kali was "up to" when I first saw it in use.
I came to Linux via Knoppix, a live CD (years ago a CD was enough) and had
fun using the elevated privileges to hack into my own former OS. Of course
the experience was good for learning and I eventually opted for Ubuntu
installs as my "go to" favorite. I am now getting more accustomed to
Debian, though not recommending Debian for the new user.
I still have fun with live systems, Knoppix included, though I now have a
very nice Debian 10 live usb and would  recommend that to anyone wanting to
learn about Gnu/Linux systems.
Speaking of talking to others, the termination of Microsoft support for one
popular system has given me a few opportunities to spread the Freedom of
Gnu/Linux. How about any of you? Has anybody asked for release from the
tedium of un-free software?
See you Thursday, Ted P.
