First look >>

For me best vote is KVM (QEMU).

Kali have great app management. I like "old school" XFCE and use it everywhere. I used this version for a few hours, bud look stable and run well. Great job as usually!!

Some tools miss me, good terminal emulator, I love Terminator, and some tools like gobuster, dirsearch, seclists and etc. miss me in basic, but no problem to install.

So happy hacking ;-).
