    I use ChromeOS for all of my web browsing needs. From Zoom calls to YouTube channel management; from social media posting to content creation, ChromeOS is my browser of choice. The only time I don't use ChromeOS is if I need to keep a personal login separate from a professional account (for example, Canva). I use ChromeOS for my professional Canva account and a different browser for my personal account.

    Offensive Security
    Kali Linux is especially well suited in environments where high security is needed for your custom developed applications. This is well suited for offensive testing your high security in house developed applications. It is also very good for doing penetration testing on in house developed applications and safe guarding them from external attackers. Kali Linux is tough for use as a day to day Linux operating system as this was never intended to be used by beginners and occasional Linux users.

    Usability

    For everyday surfing the web and checking emails, ChromeOS excels. You won't start seeing ChromeOS slowing down until you start using tools that require more GPU (coding, rendering videos, AI, etc.).

    ChromeOS is just as good as Windows. I feel it can be better sometimes because it starts up faster and more efficiently. I like how all the programs have similar interfaces and are easy to learn. There are less issues with ChromeOS than there are with Windows. And security is much tighter.
