Kali is for launching attacks and has most tools setup already for that purpose.  It is not meant to be used as a server or desktop driver. It is for penetration testing only.  I think the login used is root!

Don't plan to use Kali as a daily driver.  Everyone I know either runs it in a VM or has a dedicated laptop for it to take on security engagements along with their normal laptop for presentations and report creation.

It is really setup for scanning networks, finding known vulnerabilities, wifi hacking and bluetooth hacking.

Why do people still use bluetooth at all and why do they use wifi without a VPN too, even inside their LAN?

Sigh.
