Used the same code from 2023. https://tttthis.com/blog/kali-install-2-in-2024

sudo apt-get install hydrogen shotwell gnome-disk-utility shotwell vokoscreen libreoffice inkscape secure-delete imagemagick fonts-indic fonts-thai-tlwg xinput cherrytree gdebi gdebi-core clamav clamtk gnome-system-monitor system-config-printer cups font-manager && sudo systemctl enable cups 

NOTE, you couldn't just install GIMP in 2024.

OBS, remember, installs VLC, so if you install it do:

obs-studio

apt-get purge vlc
apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get purge vlc-data
sudo apt-get remove browser-plugin-vlc

Brave browser

sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl
sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser

Bitwig from the website (use .deb), but Gdebi has same dependency issue as always, so:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update

apt list --upgradable

sudo apt-get update      

sudo apt install zlib1g:i386

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Then (NOTE these have some vulnerability possiblities because you have to trust pipewire to not get hacked and push out malware to you). Actually, Bitwig ran without the following so try without it.

udo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo apt-get update

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install pipewire pipewire-audio-client-libraries

systemctl --user daemon-reload

...

VirtualBox (if QEMU still sucks)

Check your OS with lsb_release -a and then download the .deb from their website. It will probably install in gdebi, but when you open a VM it will probably error Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

So do:

Run /sbin/vboxconfig like this:

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

But if you get a kernel headers error (kernel modules), do:

sudo apt update

then

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

then try again with:

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

(Worked for me on then.)

In new Vbox VMs, I install Brave

Do things:

• Time zone: cuba, or Latin American countries are listed like 'Americas/CountryName'
• Power Manager (otherwise it will dim after 120seconds): Keep screen from locking:
• Top-left menu > Settings > Power Manager > (fourth tab) Security > Automatically lock: Never, and uncheck []Lock screen when system is going to sleep
• in Power Settings, you have to click the top buttons for ‘plugged in’ and ‘on battery’ and do both
• Menu > Keyboard > Layout, unlock the Default settings and +add Spanish, and set a ‘Change layout option.' I selected Ctrl-shift to change language input
• Disable login screen. Didn't find a way.
