Every distro left something behind.

[08] Kali Purple LAPTOP
// Current System
────────────────────────────────────────────────

01  Traditionally Kali is associated with offense, but Kali Purple represents a shift toward defensive security operations—threat monitoring, analytics, and incident response.

02  It brings the simplicity of a Debian system which just works with most things when someone says 'works on Linux', plus security tooling built in.

03  This represents my current hybrid mindset: combining development, infrastructure thinking, and security awareness into a single working environment.
