Athena OS: The Ultimate OS for Ethical Hackers?

Can i replace my kali with athena

idk you probably shouldnt be in infosec if you cant set up your own machine and make it easily reproducible with scripts and whatnot.

Talks about hackers being the core audience.
Proceeds to explain how to set up a bootable USB drive...

Hello everyone, I am part of AthenaOS contributors and want to bring some clarifications.

Is AthenaOS just a copy? What does it bring to the table?

AthenaOS is more than a reiteration; it strives for stability, flexibility, and innovation. Our mission is to address and fill the void left by other distributions. We’re not just offering themes; our goal is to deliver a distinctive experience accessible to both beginners and professionals. AthenaOS is designed to be a flexible distribution, empowering users with the option to tailor the OS according to their specific needs and preferences.

I'm here and happy to respond to all your questions and critiques.

We already had this available with black arch that's the issue. I'm all for innovation but it's literally a customized black arch install literally.
With that being said the main driving point should be it uses hyprland out of the box and no other distros really do that aside from arco or something

omfg did he mention hes an arch user this is a hard pass

Just checking it but in my opinion i feel kali Linux is a pure ghost. while for athena it's like a copy with some user friendly interface which will make it become vulnerable like Windows os in terms of security, it could be good for people that are lazy to spend more time having their hands on the keyboard. hooopppii ⌨⌨⌨⌨⌨⌨

Simply meh

What I'm getting from this is, same as Kali, looks like Arch

Yea, but if the selling point is it being user friendly for beginners, then it isnt a killer of anything. Kali already is simple and having a simpler option isnt a killer of the other.

Just seems like Blackarch with a prettier coat of paint

How does it differ from kali Linux?

All good but one thing it is based on Arch Linux.

Nice 👍
