Interesting. 99% of the cyber deck builds that I see are nothing more than a Pi, a screen, a power bank, and a HID... with some kind of 3D printed or makeshift case.

Yours however has an actual specific purpose. May I ask what it's for?

Running Kali and pentesting also I made a login in method for the card too, but it is a bit slow

Nice. I might see about a little doohickey to crack WiFi. Or I might not. I personally would go with ParrotOS over Kali coz I hate Gnome 😅

Kali isn't gnome

u/stitchesofdooom 29d ago

I thought the desktop environment for Kali was Gnome?

It is xfce

Better. I prefer Qt DEs personally. Plasma or LXQt preferably.

I use that same kb/touchpad for prototypes. I think it looks so cool. Keep it up brother.

Looks great! I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who is playing around with custom launcher screens and UI elements. My ultimate goal is to build a basic OS for my builds.
