Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Better than ParrotOS, BackBox for hacking purpose
Contains too many tools for hacking. Those tools are not already included in BackBox or ParrotOS.
Pro Standard pentest tool set
Pro Live session distro used for forensics
Pro Nice GUI installer
Very nice and easy to use GUI installer.
Pro Good for Linux Newbies
Nice GUI not too much know how needed to use it, but is that not the whole idea behind Arch, to understand and visualize what is happening during an Arch Linux install.
Cons
Con Not intended to be a daily driver
This distro was written for pen testing and security work. It is not meant to be a day-to-day OS (unless that's your job).
Con Very old packages
E.G. Firefox's current version is 61 but Kali linux consists of its 52th version. Though kernel is not that old.
Con Not great in Virtual
Not so great when trying to setup in a virtual environment, better to just follow the wiki on the Arch Linux site.
