All versions of Parrot are quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...

I use it instead of Kali Linux and it is verry userfriendly and easy to use also for daily use

God os has alot of hacking tools more than Kali, but lacks an easy way to install drivers, and doesn't have a software center. Does include synaptic nut its annoying to ha e to add ppa's and not all of them woek. i2p is broken and won't work. Good os for hacking but not for everyday use. The terminals are beautiful too, and has programming tools. They should make this os based on Ubuntu or Linux Lite.

Could you please write in a way that makes sense to a normal person?
