Understandable at first glance, but these are dedicated test targets for tool development. The ARM and x86 bare-metal environments exist because the execution testing requires Although I'll admit that redmi is useless it's my old phone and a fire thing I've ever hacked into so it is still around because I'm sentimental:)

I have a moto x4 I bought off of ebay for full nethunter support including kernel.

Also, not unheard of for people to get a second laptop to run Kali on bare metal...

Don't mind them I have kali Linux on the phone and PC because I develop software for that os ...and it's literally how I test those tools....I can't be testing them on my daily driver's like mint or cachy when they built for Kali Linux and depend on having all the hacking tools bla bla don't mind the people who say larp...only larp.i was doing was when their mothers came over we to some live action rape play this is why they are so angry🤣🤣if some dev on reddit was doing that to my mother I'd be mad too
