this is the best linux distribution i have ever used. it is fast and its default settings are amazing. i don't care if it was designed as a pentest distro, i think i found my perfect daily operating system.
The 6.1 release changed a lot of things and put the project back on track, so i highly encourage to give it a try. Their virtual machine appliances are very handy, the iso file is a very handy carry-around toolkit that i think every hacker, sysadmin, network engineer or even programmer should have with them

Thank you for a good and finally stable Perrot. It has now become my fixed operating system that works without teasing.
Can't actually come up with something that you really lack of poograms and security.
Apache, NGINX won't start, but that's the only thing too.
May recommend trying Perrot if not others have tried anything but mint.
Could not expand the terminal with the features that you now offer to download, so that it is all over together and just had to enter.
The terminal is my desk in Linux.

In my opinion this distro is amazing for my lenovo ideapad 3 15iau7 intel I3 1215U 16 gb ram ssd nvme 500 gb.After remove some drivers to Realtek Wifi card wifi (except firmware-realtek and realtek rtl8814au-dkms) everything runs fast and stable.I recoomended this distro for newer Laptops and PC's .Mate desktop is verry light and fast.This distro is better to web browsing than windows 10 (windows 11 is a tragic OS in my opinion).I reccomended this distro to all users who search a fast and stable OS (This distro base on stable debian with new kernell 6.9.7)

Absolute disaster with KDE,... Cannot even log in with Wayland, as it continuously returns to the login screen and can only log in with X11.
Cannot even use Brave, which wouldn't start, just crashes.
The support forums are dominated by a few arrogant users, whose response to most of the questions or issues is to mock or just simply "if you don't know/understand this you shouldn't use it".
KDE updater cannot fetch the list of apps.
Since version 6 Opensnitch doesn't work properly.
Give it a wide berth.

Finally, Perrot has become stable and much cooler.
Perrot has been an operating system that I have gone back to time and time again.
The reason for this was that Perrot gave me an operating system that was safe to mess around with. Yes! I mess around a lot with computers and they have crashed a few times. The anonymous has teased many times, but now it seems to be working. Thanks for a good operating system that you can enjoy exploring.
Also runs win 11, but thought that Linux is safer to use, especially when going online and downloading new files.

After 3/4 years the Parrot OS v.6.0 is running perfectly again.
That was a real pincer job.
I am really happy that it runs so well again and without problems and the Anonsurf is also perfect again.
Thanks to the chief developer Lorenzo F.
Good job :-)
I've been using Parrot OS since 2013 and I'm a big fan of Parrot OS Security and Parrot OS Home Edition, all my laptops are equipped
with Parrot OS as a permanent installation.
I can't write more than just praise the Parrot OS Developers and express my great thanks

I love the system I got the nvidia drivers running on a laptop with a amd 7840 and a rtx 4060, runs smooth.
I only have 2 issues that take a point each, one is an annoyance with apt having to many sources, not bad and fixable. The other is my very old amd64 desktop I have had a horrible time getting the GUI to run It runs in the command prompt. But startx never works and I have been trying all sorts of things to fix it.
Though I have 4 intel laptops that it installed on in no time. No fighting with drivers, most special function buttons worked or were fairly easy to fix.
Has a plain home (non-security) edition and the Hack the Box if you want to take online gaming learning lessons! Even if you are just jumping distros try this square it has been stable for me.
And runs anonsurf that proxies the whole pc through tor out of the box. That they just got fixed again if tor is your thing. Though I would install tor browser if it were my thing.

Version 5.2 was the last OK version. Now It's just an one man show distro.
//for the sake of 500 chars.
Perrot causes a big problem when trying to get the new version.
Shows many warnings in update and cannot reinstall the new version of Perrot.
But Perrot is a good control system when it works and you feel safe being online. I can see that the security has been increased, therefore there will probably also be more problems that beginners cannot cope with.
What used to be a pretty stable distro has been ruined by the last update, which breaks the system and makes it unusable.

What used to be a pretty stable distro has been ruined by the last update, which breaks the system and makes it unusable. I wonder why the maintainers have left this issue going on for at least a couple of months. I could live with the occasional shortcomings like the wifi glitches, but this is not an experience that can leave you using Parrot with trust in its stability. The botched update takes with it the graphical environment AND the ethernet connection so you are left with two options, reinstall Parrot and hope it won't happen again, or look for another distro with hopefully less maintenance woes.

Taḱ for a good operating system while it lasted.
A control system that has it all and more would be preferable and Perrot has that. But you don't have to use the various hacker systems to get online.

The creators of Parrot describe it as designed with security and privacy in mind which I like. It comes with several features related to this including a modified Firefox browser and Tor out of the box. I would describe it as user-friendly and it´s very nice-looking, especially the MATE version. I have had some problems installing and running certain packages. Another minus in my mind is that it uses Systemd which does not seem to fit the ambition of high security. Despite this I will still give it an eight out of ten.

Am a computer science and mathematics tutor and I love teaching python on Parrot os simply it has python installed, I use it for my daily use due to the disk encryption feature, liber office and other amazingly powerful tools. I simply teach and make a living on parrot os. It's more powerful compared to Kali Linux. I've also used windows 10/11 but I can't get all in parrot in windows plus I love using terminal. According to me I love freedom in linux. The mate environment in parrot I love it for that old look on a sad day all I want to do is code on my parrot os

Parrot os is good i am also using parrot os
but still there are small issues
sometimes while i am using my mouse left click don't work suddenly
i found solution to this problem
by entering this command solve this problem
sudo udevadm trigger
but still i am also a average beginner
when this issue happen in starting stage i didn't understand why
this is a small issue
if parrot os team fix this issue default it's very helpful to beginners
and yes of course this os is very low end
just use 600MB ram
run very smoothly , installer is also very user friendly ( calamares ) 10 times better than kali

I use it with kde for its flexibility, its security tool and daily use. Very smooth. Simple to install and use. Powerful collection of security and network check tool. No need to install one at once. On Firefox there are various link to documentation. Simple anonymize tools for people in illiberal country with strict surveillance like Russia, China or USA. Installed Latte for best OSX like experience and some utility like amule, torrent, calibre, free42, mc but still stock image is perfect. Better to install boot Mate and KDE on my experience.

People who use this don't care about wallpapers. But here they are beautiful. Although that is irrelevant. The beauty of Linux is its functionality. Because it's rare. Mate DE is strange and often prone to bugs. Not here. The Parrot OS development team has done an amazing job.
Here's why I use this distro:
The first laptop I installed Linux on was a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo about fifteen years ago. Over time, I changed machines and therefore different distributions. Now after many years (I'm sorry I didn't realize it earlier) I can say one important thing about Linux distributions - each one has its own brand on which it works flawlessly. So I had Solus on a Fujitsu Lifebook U727 - it didn't work at all. I used Solus because I was used to it when I had a Thinkpad T450 and Thinkpad T420 before that. Now that Solus is a half-dead distro, I tried Windows 11. It runs Windows, but on this laptop, not the way I'd like. Plus I have another machine (Asus Vivobook X507UF) for Windows because it has Nvidia dedicated graphics and therefore I didn't want to throw Linux on it.
The bottom line is that Linux introduced me to a world that is hard to describe in words. The world of Cyber Security. A world where hacking is a game. I never had money for expensive new computers, I always worked with what I had and that was often not enough. For example, I now have two laptops that I bought for 450 euros. With the right software for each of them, there are no limits. Software development or whatever comes to mind is now at my fingertips.
Considering that Parrot OS is a Debian based distro, it works perfectly on a 12" Fujitsu Lifebook U727 with 8GB RAM and i5-6300U CPU. Since I have two laptops now I can hack myself and learn some interesting skills in the process.
I do all this as a hobby. I'm not officially educated and I'm not young enough to expect a career out of all this. I just hope to acquire certain skills so that I can acquire new ones faster. You yourself witness the time when the Neural Network expands exponentially. You need the right tools to make progress regardless of the goal.
Parrot OS is THE right tool.

I can't give it 10 because there's a lot of mess inside, starting with GVM tools that are not stable, and also snap-store makes it very difficult to get the updates.
If they want to make their app store like ubuntu, they have to.
Also, we need a driver manager, because the hotkey of my keyboard is not useful, especially for the brightness
We need also a reset button it may be helpful instead of redownloading and reinstalling again
a part of that the rest is just too much stable and perfect

Work but have little instruction on install procedures. Have best collection of tools to check your network. Perfect for all people who need security check. On the other way it acts like a standard debian so is possible to use for every day needs. Not his primary function.
Saddly VLC Player not working yet Systems hangs up. This has to be fixed, no other Tool is so perfect. I have it on a USB Stick installt with RUFFUS 3.10, do not use 5.21. Active persistence is a must. In older Version VLC Payer works very well. I expecting in the next update. What would be good tell Standart Password on the Welcome site of Parrot and give same usefull hints. Telling what the Tools are doing.

If you need state of art hacking tools collection there are no other choiche on same level. Professional. Forensic analisys and automotive fraud check tools are covered too. In the right hand is a solid distro with powerfull packages to exploit, crack, check and mask your activity.

Perrot can sometimes tease a lot, especially when anonsurf blocks Firefox because it can't find IP and control the system itself freezes when writing. Then you can lose interest in continuing. But with a little patience, you also solve these problems. Perrot seems a lot like mint, but is, on the other hand, safer to drive with. There are many options in Perrot and you can easily get the time going. Don't understand that Perrot doesn't rank higher toward the top. Why don't you use Eraser or format and write instead of multiWriter for USB? As a fixed standard.

Parrot sec good operating system, there is a need for programming, testing, network test, office and other interesting things. I like this because it already exists and is configured with anonsurf, but this Parrot has problems with the UI on the top bar, and the wifi network is sometimes disconnected, what's worse is that the consumption of battery resources is very wasteful, different from the windows I have, NVIDIA drivers are not readable, bash terminal so weird. When playing Hack the Box crafting the payload can't the result is different, but when I crafted with Kali linux it worked somehow what went wrong, I used the same command, I suggest if you use this OS to play CTF better the Hack the Box or Kali version

I have tried a lot of Linux distros over the years and I decided to try and find a distro that is security focused, but, can be used everyday. I thought I found that distro with Parrot OS. I had it setup just like I wanted it. I moved all of my files over to it and then the problems began. I noticed it drained my laptop battery like crazy. It appeared to be using Nvidia drivers when I wanted it to just use Intel (I have an Optimus based laptop). Normally, this is not a problem on other distos. No matter what I tried, it appeared to always use the Nvidia drivers, even after I removed all trace of Nvidia from the system and the battery continued to drain. Next, a system update took out the Bluetooth. No matter what I tried, I could not get Bluetooth to work. I decided to go to their official forum and it was down for weeks! Their website constantly goes down along with their repositories. For some reason, updates will not install randomly as well.
Parrot OS seems half baked to me. The fact they can't keep their website or repositories up is a very bad sign. When the forums came back up I found out Bluetooth stopped working for everyone and there was no fix in sight. People loudly complained about the forum being down for weeks. This is amateur hour. I'm pretty sure this OS is not secure at all either.
Don't waste your time.

I probably have around 15 Linux distro's on my test rig, but I was looking for a more secure drive for my laptop when travelling, I also needed something easy to use for visitors, so for my visitors I have a drive with the ever popular Mint, and for travelling, I now have Parrot Home on the spare drive, [which I can swap out in a couple of seconds] I have been running Parrot for 4 months now, installation was reasonably easy, the Mate desk top is fast enough, as Linux users say "it just works"
so why have I given it 9, simple Nothing is perfect any system can in time be improved,
cons, I have not suffered any, But there are occasions where updates break or loose drivers [RTL being the main one but then RTL are not what I consider Linux friendly anyway]
After using various Linux builds for over 20 years, I do not recommend any distribution, what I like and use may not suit you the reader, As I always tell Newbies just give it a try, if you don't like it fine, if you do use, it and look after it.

Fantastic! ParrotOS has got amazing wallpapers, a great User Experience, simplicity and functionality. I use every day this distribution, because I love its functionality, graphic and use of resources. Also good for computer programmers (easy and fast to create a new document - python, C/C++, HTML... with a pre-built structure, very useful). Of course one of my favourite Linux distros. Other functionalities are similar to the most famous Kali Linux, but this one is heavier, it also requires a lot of resources and, IMHO, ParrotOS graphic is more beautiful.

It looked very good in virtualbox with a vdi from osboxes a lot of bla bla about the the flexibility the extreme stability whatever that's suppose to be. Convinced me to give it a try on one of my 5 m2's got a few pci adapters to
Cos I don't really like windows 11 and desperately want to switch to a linux system. The installation went very fast secure boot eufi no probs.
But then it comes in synaps package manager only the installed packages appear seems an imposible task to install another desktop environment like in Kali . I want to install because can't scale my 2500* 1400 screen and get a headache cos the lettres are to small. So what is it extreme flexible or stable make a choice for god's sake
because I get a headache. Unable to scale doesn't sound very flexible to me, stable though but with a headache
a chronic stable one.

Parrot, unfortunately--due to its "security" reputation,has been passed over by many.
There Home is loaded with anything anyone would need to simply gidder done.Like a Mint or Sparky or the devi...err...Ubuntu.
It's "Home" version is, by far, the nicest Mate setup I've ever used.
It is what it is. A Debian testing/non-free/backports spin with a pile of tweak work pre-done already.
It's a pleasure to use and solid as a rock. People who enjoy the Mate environment will digg it and people who think Mate is---meh...need to see what can be done with it.
It says "post a few cons". I never found any. OK. The wallpaper is crap. Happy now ? ;-)

I've been using Parrot OS as my daily OS for about 1.5 years and I'm settled with this practical, friendly (relatively), fast and reliable OS.
Before installing Parrot I tested a number of GNU/Linux distros, including Kali, Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and more (mostly Debian based). I also tested other distros for different purposes, like light, fast and small footprint for older computers and I found 3 that are my favorites in this category, but as far as having a daily, production OS, I settled with Parrot.
I'm not too geeky or too expert to be able to do some serious work from the command line, but I can follow instructions from others when the necessity arises. For example I had to do some minor system changes in Kali and I crashed it twice. I reinstalled it 3 times and the next time I had a similar problem I had to solve, instead of spending time in the forums trying to learn something new, I decided to try other OS. That's when I decided to try Parrot.
So far Parrot OS has not disappointed me.

Perrote can replace Mint and you feel more secure. 5.0 LTS is stable and safe. You never get done to learn something new.
Would recommend driving Perrot.

Gone from Mint to Perrot 4.11.2 Home which appeals to me more in safety. Although one has to secure it further. This selection of files and programs appeals to one to explore what it can.

I have no doubt now after driving Perrot 4.10 into the system it can become my favorites. Again got a startup with grub crypt where the keyboard did not fit. Starts like that every time.? But with all luck you can find keyboard difference and then run it a normal startup, at the same time it was upgraded to 4.11.2 Home. Hard to start easy to drive. Unfortunately uses many hours reading about Linux, which one does not always father a stick. But Linux forever.

My go to live distro. Been using it since v4.2.2 and loved it ever since. Used MX Linux, Mint, Antix and a few Ubuntu based distros. I was looking for something focused on stability, security (sandboxing) and privacy, but also lightweight, somewhat intuitive and something I didn't have to tweak too much (all the "necessary" software preinstalled, no bloatware, etc.) I tried several live distros but had problems with virtually every one either being too slow or error prone - never had issues running Parrot on my little Thinkpad T430. My two gripes: there's only 3 DE's to choose from, I wish they'd include options for Budgie and LXQT (MATE is usually my DE of choice but having even lighter options can be useful). I also wish they'd ditch systemd. Otherwise a solid distro.

I like where parrot is heading! It is very well made! There are some problems with the VPN software, as it glitches sometimes with bugs. When adding new desktops to the login menu, such as lxqt or others such as xfce, to kde, it will glitch. I was told on a parrot os guide online not to use mate as it also glitches with parrot os.
there is also software glitching with gimp 10 art sotwares. Have a custom vpn I added to chomium web browser, additinally I also added tor-browser-beta from website both work well. I think parrot could be worked on with it's faults, errors, to be ironed out. Great os overall! I also noticed this with devuan on sysV baowulf 2021 relases gimp also acts up on their end too! With krita and others such as g'mic addon the art software generally works. I used parrot for computer science and reverse engineering school online. One of the best i'v tested so far, next to alt-linux from russia on the sysphus-stable-branch.

It’s a great operating system. I feel it’s safe and secure as well as easy to install. It’s good for ethical hacking with a cornucopia of tools available. In fact I like it so much I’ve been installing it even on machines where security is not a major concern. The non-safety security features have also been working very well for me. And last but not least, it also makes a good choice for those who are new to advanced security and related research.

Many of us like perrot, but as I said, it does not seem stable and safe anymore. Even if you have anon surfing to do well with.
how about making an edition that is stable, fast and closed at first.
Create your own virus scanner and combine firewall.
Lock for usb or hard drive would prevent data corruption.
ransomware is a problem today, for those who have sensitive data.
Windows today seems more stable than ever.
Ensuring and testing the security of his computer should be a single click.

I not changed anything on my config.-. only the bios update but it was a bit unstable with full ram setup. everything else works right

Pros:
[] Easy install (mostly)
[] Clean UI
Cons:
[] Without upgrading the system, most of the features do not properly work, e.g:
1. MATE appearance customisation.
[] Parrot's custom upgrade process broke after only a few boots.
[] Installing VirtualBox was a tedious process and borked my install.
[] Does not include Debian's mirrors as default (making most packages uninstallable, as their mirror does not include near as many packages as the default Debian one)
[] Asks for Ethernet card drivers on a modern laptop
In summary, this OS isn't ready for production, and in my experience is basically just Kali Linux with a few new backgrounds, customised terminal and MATE/KDE desktop environment.
I could not recommend this OS less, please install a stabler distribution.

Parrot is a very sleek OS. They even provide the coolest default themes and desktop backgrounds than any other destro I ever used. The colorful layout of their terminal alone has been desired and mimicked by so many users creating their own bash files to maintain the look. It offers a ton of cyber security and hacking software right off the bat. It would be my favorite distro if they maintained a LTS variant.
The reason why I only gave it a 7 is due to my personal experience with it's rolling updates. I've encountered too many corrupt GUI bugs with each update that becomes too much of a hassle to fix each time. This is most common on my Asus AMD APU laptop and my AMD FX - Geforce 980 GTX desktop. I thought it was a driver issue but it's actually some issue with the destro and Mate itself.... which sucks because Mate happens to be my favorite desktop environment. I haven't tired their KDE version (since I'm not a fan of KDE).
Keep in mind that this is due to my own personal experience and I'm not suggesting it will be the same for you. In fact, I really wish them the best and hope to revisit Parrot OS at a later time. I really enjoyed using it and it seriously impressed my friends enough who were ignorant about Linux and inspired them to try it out (mostly when I told them you can run allot of Linux destros on a thumb drive or SD card.
I will be using their Raspberry Pi version once I buy a few Pi 4s in the near future.

If you want to get acquainted with the system, then I prefer Perrot as a very stable and secure operating system. Thanks for a great job. Of course, Something can always be done better and one always has his doubts about safety.

Perrot lacks a bit of its own style. Perrot home is my favorite.
But it seems that Windows has taken control.
Missing Perrot search page in Firefox so you feel more secure.
One could see in firefox when ip changes.
Perrot home feels more secure than perrot security, although it is not so much secured. A secure home perrot would help secure from the start. Perrot home is my favorite and you can always find more hacks for your system if you are into it. Pretty good . Missing a new and safer version of perrot.

If one were to change anything on Perrot so that it differs from other linux. Then it would be good with a new firewall and antivirus program that only runs in perrot.
Not quite sure if it is safe enough now? Since clamav does not work optimally and finds many viruses that can not be removed.

Had just found myself at ease with Perrot. But then I tested Clamav and it found many viruses in the system. Virus that blocked in order to be deleted and froze my system. Had to shut down and start over, but the virus can or will not be removed.? Since this is in Secure Perrot, then nothing is safe anymore. Can not make a more secure virus system. When there are so many clever heads making linux.

this is the best linux distribution i have ever used. it is fast and its default settings are amazing. i don't care if it was designed as a pentest distro, i think i found my perfect daily operating system.
The 6.1 release changed a lot of things and put the project back on track, so i highly encourage to give it a try. Their virtual machine appliances are very handy, the iso file is a very handy carry-around toolkit that i think every hacker, sysadmin, network engineer or even programmer should have with them

In my opinion this distro is amazing for my lenovo ideapad 3 15iau7 intel I3 1215U 16 gb ram ssd nvme 500 gb.After remove some drivers to Realtek Wifi card wifi (except firmware-realtek and realtek rtl8814au-dkms) everything runs fast and stable.I recoomended this distro for newer Laptops and PC's .Mate desktop is verry light and fast.This distro is better to web browsing than windows 10 (windows 11 is a tragic OS in my opinion).I reccomended this distro to all users who search a fast and stable OS (This distro base on stable debian with new kernell 6.9.7)

Thank you for a good and finally stable Perrot. It has now become my fixed operating system that works without teasing.
Can't actually come up with something that you really lack of poograms and security.
Apache, NGINX won't start, but that's the only thing too.
May recommend trying Perrot if not others have tried anything but mint.
Could not expand the terminal with the features that you now offer to download, so that it is all over together and just had to enter.
The terminal is my desk in Linux.

Absolute disaster with KDE,... Cannot even log in with Wayland, as it continuously returns to the login screen and can only log in with X11.
Cannot even use Brave, which wouldn't start, just crashes.
The support forums are dominated by a few arrogant users, whose response to most of the questions or issues is to mock or just simply "if you don't know/understand this you shouldn't use it".
KDE updater cannot fetch the list of apps.
Since version 6 Opensnitch doesn't work properly.
Give it a wide berth.

Finally, Perrot has become stable and much cooler.
Perrot has been an operating system that I have gone back to time and time again.
The reason for this was that Perrot gave me an operating system that was safe to mess around with. Yes! I mess around a lot with computers and they have crashed a few times. The anonymous has teased many times, but now it seems to be working. Thanks for a good operating system that you can enjoy exploring.
Also runs win 11, but thought that Linux is safer to use, especially when going online and downloading new files.

After 3/4 years the Parrot OS v.6.0 is running perfectly again.
That was a real pincer job.
I am really happy that it runs so well again and without problems and the Anonsurf is also perfect again.
Thanks to the chief developer Lorenzo F.
Good job :-)
I've been using Parrot OS since 2013 and I'm a big fan of Parrot OS Security and Parrot OS Home Edition, all my laptops are equipped
with Parrot OS as a permanent installation.
I can't write more than just praise the Parrot OS Developers and express my great thanks

I love the system I got the nvidia drivers running on a laptop with a amd 7840 and a rtx 4060, runs smooth.
I only have 2 issues that take a point each, one is an annoyance with apt having to many sources, not bad and fixable. The other is my very old amd64 desktop I have had a horrible time getting the GUI to run It runs in the command prompt. But startx never works and I have been trying all sorts of things to fix it.
Though I have 4 intel laptops that it installed on in no time. No fighting with drivers, most special function buttons worked or were fairly easy to fix.
Has a plain home (non-security) edition and the Hack the Box if you want to take online gaming learning lessons! Even if you are just jumping distros try this square it has been stable for me.
And runs anonsurf that proxies the whole pc through tor out of the box. That they just got fixed again if tor is your thing. Though I would install tor browser if it were my thing.

Version 5.2 was the last OK version. Now It's just an one man show distro.
//for the sake of 500 chars.
Perrot causes a big problem when trying to get the new version.
Shows many warnings in update and cannot reinstall the new version of Perrot.
But Perrot is a good control system when it works and you feel safe being online. I can see that the security has been increased, therefore there will probably also be more problems that beginners cannot cope with.
What used to be a pretty stable distro has been ruined by the last update, which breaks the system and makes it unusable.

What used to be a pretty stable distro has been ruined by the last update, which breaks the system and makes it unusable. I wonder why the maintainers have left this issue going on for at least a couple of months. I could live with the occasional shortcomings like the wifi glitches, but this is not an experience that can leave you using Parrot with trust in its stability. The botched update takes with it the graphical environment AND the ethernet connection so you are left with two options, reinstall Parrot and hope it won't happen again, or look for another distro with hopefully less maintenance woes.

Taḱ for a good operating system while it lasted.
A control system that has it all and more would be preferable and Perrot has that. But you don't have to use the various hacker systems to get online.

The creators of Parrot describe it as designed with security and privacy in mind which I like. It comes with several features related to this including a modified Firefox browser and Tor out of the box. I would describe it as user-friendly and it´s very nice-looking, especially the MATE version. I have had some problems installing and running certain packages. Another minus in my mind is that it uses Systemd which does not seem to fit the ambition of high security. Despite this I will still give it an eight out of ten.

Am a computer science and mathematics tutor and I love teaching python on Parrot os simply it has python installed, I use it for my daily use due to the disk encryption feature, liber office and other amazingly powerful tools. I simply teach and make a living on parrot os. It's more powerful compared to Kali Linux. I've also used windows 10/11 but I can't get all in parrot in windows plus I love using terminal. According to me I love freedom in linux. The mate environment in parrot I love it for that old look on a sad day all I want to do is code on my parrot os

Parrot os is good i am also using parrot os
but still there are small issues
sometimes while i am using my mouse left click don't work suddenly
i found solution to this problem
by entering this command solve this problem
sudo udevadm trigger
but still i am also a average beginner
when this issue happen in starting stage i didn't understand why
this is a small issue
if parrot os team fix this issue default it's very helpful to beginners
and yes of course this os is very low end
just use 600MB ram
run very smoothly , installer is also very user friendly ( calamares ) 10 times better than kali

I use it with kde for its flexibility, its security tool and daily use. Very smooth. Simple to install and use. Powerful collection of security and network check tool. No need to install one at once. On Firefox there are various link to documentation. Simple anonymize tools for people in illiberal country with strict surveillance like Russia, China or USA. Installed Latte for best OSX like experience and some utility like amule, torrent, calibre, free42, mc but still stock image is perfect. Better to install boot Mate and KDE on my experience.

People who use this don't care about wallpapers. But here they are beautiful. Although that is irrelevant. The beauty of Linux is its functionality. Because it's rare. Mate DE is strange and often prone to bugs. Not here. The Parrot OS development team has done an amazing job.
Here's why I use this distro:
The first laptop I installed Linux on was a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo about fifteen years ago. Over time, I changed machines and therefore different distributions. Now after many years (I'm sorry I didn't realize it earlier) I can say one important thing about Linux distributions - each one has its own brand on which it works flawlessly. So I had Solus on a Fujitsu Lifebook U727 - it didn't work at all. I used Solus because I was used to it when I had a Thinkpad T450 and Thinkpad T420 before that. Now that Solus is a half-dead distro, I tried Windows 11. It runs Windows, but on this laptop, not the way I'd like. Plus I have another machine (Asus Vivobook X507UF) for Windows because it has Nvidia dedicated graphics and therefore I didn't want to throw Linux on it.
The bottom line is that Linux introduced me to a world that is hard to describe in words. The world of Cyber Security. A world where hacking is a game. I never had money for expensive new computers, I always worked with what I had and that was often not enough. For example, I now have two laptops that I bought for 450 euros. With the right software for each of them, there are no limits. Software development or whatever comes to mind is now at my fingertips.
Considering that Parrot OS is a Debian based distro, it works perfectly on a 12" Fujitsu Lifebook U727 with 8GB RAM and i5-6300U CPU. Since I have two laptops now I can hack myself and learn some interesting skills in the process.
I do all this as a hobby. I'm not officially educated and I'm not young enough to expect a career out of all this. I just hope to acquire certain skills so that I can acquire new ones faster. You yourself witness the time when the Neural Network expands exponentially. You need the right tools to make progress regardless of the goal.
Parrot OS is THE right tool.

I can't give it 10 because there's a lot of mess inside, starting with GVM tools that are not stable, and also snap-store makes it very difficult to get the updates.
If they want to make their app store like ubuntu, they have to.
Also, we need a driver manager, because the hotkey of my keyboard is not useful, especially for the brightness
We need also a reset button it may be helpful instead of redownloading and reinstalling again
a part of that the rest is just too much stable and perfect

Work but have little instruction on install procedures. Have best collection of tools to check your network. Perfect for all people who need security check. On the other way it acts like a standard debian so is possible to use for every day needs. Not his primary function.
Saddly VLC Player not working yet Systems hangs up. This has to be fixed, no other Tool is so perfect. I have it on a USB Stick installt with RUFFUS 3.10, do not use 5.21. Active persistence is a must. In older Version VLC Payer works very well. I expecting in the next update. What would be good tell Standart Password on the Welcome site of Parrot and give same usefull hints. Telling what the Tools are doing.

If you need state of art hacking tools collection there are no other choiche on same level. Professional. Forensic analisys and automotive fraud check tools are covered too. In the right hand is a solid distro with powerfull packages to exploit, crack, check and mask your activity.

Perrot can sometimes tease a lot, especially when anonsurf blocks Firefox because it can't find IP and control the system itself freezes when writing. Then you can lose interest in continuing. But with a little patience, you also solve these problems. Perrot seems a lot like mint, but is, on the other hand, safer to drive with. There are many options in Perrot and you can easily get the time going. Don't understand that Perrot doesn't rank higher toward the top. Why don't you use Eraser or format and write instead of multiWriter for USB? As a fixed standard.

Parrot sec good operating system, there is a need for programming, testing, network test, office and other interesting things. I like this because it already exists and is configured with anonsurf, but this Parrot has problems with the UI on the top bar, and the wifi network is sometimes disconnected, what's worse is that the consumption of battery resources is very wasteful, different from the windows I have, NVIDIA drivers are not readable, bash terminal so weird. When playing Hack the Box crafting the payload can't the result is different, but when I crafted with Kali linux it worked somehow what went wrong, I used the same command, I suggest if you use this OS to play CTF better the Hack the Box or Kali version

I have tried a lot of Linux distros over the years and I decided to try and find a distro that is security focused, but, can be used everyday. I thought I found that distro with Parrot OS. I had it setup just like I wanted it. I moved all of my files over to it and then the problems began. I noticed it drained my laptop battery like crazy. It appeared to be using Nvidia drivers when I wanted it to just use Intel (I have an Optimus based laptop). Normally, this is not a problem on other distos. No matter what I tried, it appeared to always use the Nvidia drivers, even after I removed all trace of Nvidia from the system and the battery continued to drain. Next, a system update took out the Bluetooth. No matter what I tried, I could not get Bluetooth to work. I decided to go to their official forum and it was down for weeks! Their website constantly goes down along with their repositories. For some reason, updates will not install randomly as well.
Parrot OS seems half baked to me. The fact they can't keep their website or repositories up is a very bad sign. When the forums came back up I found out Bluetooth stopped working for everyone and there was no fix in sight. People loudly complained about the forum being down for weeks. This is amateur hour. I'm pretty sure this OS is not secure at all either.
Don't waste your time.

I probably have around 15 Linux distro's on my test rig, but I was looking for a more secure drive for my laptop when travelling, I also needed something easy to use for visitors, so for my visitors I have a drive with the ever popular Mint, and for travelling, I now have Parrot Home on the spare drive, [which I can swap out in a couple of seconds] I have been running Parrot for 4 months now, installation was reasonably easy, the Mate desk top is fast enough, as Linux users say "it just works"
so why have I given it 9, simple Nothing is perfect any system can in time be improved,
cons, I have not suffered any, But there are occasions where updates break or loose drivers [RTL being the main one but then RTL are not what I consider Linux friendly anyway]
After using various Linux builds for over 20 years, I do not recommend any distribution, what I like and use may not suit you the reader, As I always tell Newbies just give it a try, if you don't like it fine, if you do use, it and look after it.

Fantastic! ParrotOS has got amazing wallpapers, a great User Experience, simplicity and functionality. I use every day this distribution, because I love its functionality, graphic and use of resources. Also good for computer programmers (easy and fast to create a new document - python, C/C++, HTML... with a pre-built structure, very useful). Of course one of my favourite Linux distros. Other functionalities are similar to the most famous Kali Linux, but this one is heavier, it also requires a lot of resources and, IMHO, ParrotOS graphic is more beautiful.

It looked very good in virtualbox with a vdi from osboxes a lot of bla bla about the the flexibility the extreme stability whatever that's suppose to be. Convinced me to give it a try on one of my 5 m2's got a few pci adapters to
Cos I don't really like windows 11 and desperately want to switch to a linux system. The installation went very fast secure boot eufi no probs.
But then it comes in synaps package manager only the installed packages appear seems an imposible task to install another desktop environment like in Kali . I want to install because can't scale my 2500* 1400 screen and get a headache cos the lettres are to small. So what is it extreme flexible or stable make a choice for god's sake
because I get a headache. Unable to scale doesn't sound very flexible to me, stable though but with a headache
a chronic stable one.

Parrot, unfortunately--due to its "security" reputation,has been passed over by many.
There Home is loaded with anything anyone would need to simply gidder done.Like a Mint or Sparky or the devi...err...Ubuntu.
It's "Home" version is, by far, the nicest Mate setup I've ever used.
It is what it is. A Debian testing/non-free/backports spin with a pile of tweak work pre-done already.
It's a pleasure to use and solid as a rock. People who enjoy the Mate environment will digg it and people who think Mate is---meh...need to see what can be done with it.
It says "post a few cons". I never found any. OK. The wallpaper is crap. Happy now ? ;-)

I've been using Parrot OS as my daily OS for about 1.5 years and I'm settled with this practical, friendly (relatively), fast and reliable OS.
Before installing Parrot I tested a number of GNU/Linux distros, including Kali, Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and more (mostly Debian based). I also tested other distros for different purposes, like light, fast and small footprint for older computers and I found 3 that are my favorites in this category, but as far as having a daily, production OS, I settled with Parrot.
I'm not too geeky or too expert to be able to do some serious work from the command line, but I can follow instructions from others when the necessity arises. For example I had to do some minor system changes in Kali and I crashed it twice. I reinstalled it 3 times and the next time I had a similar problem I had to solve, instead of spending time in the forums trying to learn something new, I decided to try other OS. That's when I decided to try Parrot.
So far Parrot OS has not disappointed me.

I have no doubt now after driving Perrot 4.10 into the system it can become my favorites. Again got a startup with grub crypt where the keyboard did not fit. Starts like that every time.? But with all luck you can find keyboard difference and then run it a normal startup, at the same time it was upgraded to 4.11.2 Home. Hard to start easy to drive. Unfortunately uses many hours reading about Linux, which one does not always father a stick. But Linux forever.

My go to live distro. Been using it since v4.2.2 and loved it ever since. Used MX Linux, Mint, Antix and a few Ubuntu based distros. I was looking for something focused on stability, security (sandboxing) and privacy, but also lightweight, somewhat intuitive and something I didn't have to tweak too much (all the "necessary" software preinstalled, no bloatware, etc.) I tried several live distros but had problems with virtually every one either being too slow or error prone - never had issues running Parrot on my little Thinkpad T430. My two gripes: there's only 3 DE's to choose from, I wish they'd include options for Budgie and LXQT (MATE is usually my DE of choice but having even lighter options can be useful). I also wish they'd ditch systemd. Otherwise a solid distro.

I like where parrot is heading! It is very well made! There are some problems with the VPN software, as it glitches sometimes with bugs. When adding new desktops to the login menu, such as lxqt or others such as xfce, to kde, it will glitch. I was told on a parrot os guide online not to use mate as it also glitches with parrot os.
there is also software glitching with gimp 10 art sotwares. Have a custom vpn I added to chomium web browser, additinally I also added tor-browser-beta from website both work well. I think parrot could be worked on with it's faults, errors, to be ironed out. Great os overall! I also noticed this with devuan on sysV baowulf 2021 relases gimp also acts up on their end too! With krita and others such as g'mic addon the art software generally works. I used parrot for computer science and reverse engineering school online. One of the best i'v tested so far, next to alt-linux from russia on the sysphus-stable-branch.

It’s a great operating system. I feel it’s safe and secure as well as easy to install. It’s good for ethical hacking with a cornucopia of tools available. In fact I like it so much I’ve been installing it even on machines where security is not a major concern. The non-safety security features have also been working very well for me. And last but not least, it also makes a good choice for those who are new to advanced security and related research.

Many of us like perrot, but as I said, it does not seem stable and safe anymore. Even if you have anon surfing to do well with.
how about making an edition that is stable, fast and closed at first.
Create your own virus scanner and combine firewall.
Lock for usb or hard drive would prevent data corruption.
ransomware is a problem today, for those who have sensitive data.
Windows today seems more stable than ever.
Ensuring and testing the security of his computer should be a single click.

Pros:
[] Easy install (mostly)
[] Clean UI
Cons:
[] Without upgrading the system, most of the features do not properly work, e.g:
1. MATE appearance customisation.
[] Parrot's custom upgrade process broke after only a few boots.
[] Installing VirtualBox was a tedious process and borked my install.
[] Does not include Debian's mirrors as default (making most packages uninstallable, as their mirror does not include near as many packages as the default Debian one)
[] Asks for Ethernet card drivers on a modern laptop
In summary, this OS isn't ready for production, and in my experience is basically just Kali Linux with a few new backgrounds, customised terminal and MATE/KDE desktop environment.
I could not recommend this OS less, please install a stabler distribution.

Has gone from Mint which has been my favorite operating system. But thought Perrot Home is a good alternative but is unsure about safety. But since there are many options, Then I can highly recommend Perrot.

If you want to get acquainted with the system, then I prefer Perrot as a very stable and secure operating system. Thanks for a great job. Of course, Something can always be done better and one always has his doubts about safety.

Parrot is a very sleek OS. They even provide the coolest default themes and desktop backgrounds than any other destro I ever used. The colorful layout of their terminal alone has been desired and mimicked by so many users creating their own bash files to maintain the look. It offers a ton of cyber security and hacking software right off the bat. It would be my favorite distro if they maintained a LTS variant.
The reason why I only gave it a 7 is due to my personal experience with it's rolling updates. I've encountered too many corrupt GUI bugs with each update that becomes too much of a hassle to fix each time. This is most common on my Asus AMD APU laptop and my AMD FX - Geforce 980 GTX desktop. I thought it was a driver issue but it's actually some issue with the destro and Mate itself.... which sucks because Mate happens to be my favorite desktop environment. I haven't tired their KDE version (since I'm not a fan of KDE).
Keep in mind that this is due to my own personal experience and I'm not suggesting it will be the same for you. In fact, I really wish them the best and hope to revisit Parrot OS at a later time. I really enjoyed using it and it seriously impressed my friends enough who were ignorant about Linux and inspired them to try it out (mostly when I told them you can run allot of Linux destros on a thumb drive or SD card.
I will be using their Raspberry Pi version once I buy a few Pi 4s in the near future.

Perrot lacks a bit of its own style. Perrot home is my favorite.
But it seems that Windows has taken control.
Missing Perrot search page in Firefox so you feel more secure.
One could see in firefox when ip changes.
Perrot home feels more secure than perrot security, although it is not so much secured. A secure home perrot would help secure from the start. Perrot home is my favorite and you can always find more hacks for your system if you are into it. Pretty good . Missing a new and safer version of perrot.

If one were to change anything on Perrot so that it differs from other linux. Then it would be good with a new firewall and antivirus program that only runs in perrot.
Not quite sure if it is safe enough now? Since clamav does not work optimally and finds many viruses that can not be removed.

Had just found myself at ease with Perrot. But then I tested Clamav and it found many viruses in the system. Virus that blocked in order to be deleted and froze my system. Had to shut down and start over, but the virus can or will not be removed.? Since this is in Secure Perrot, then nothing is safe anymore. Can not make a more secure virus system. When there are so many clever heads making linux.
