Parrot OS 7 has been released, featuring a transition to the KDE Plasma desktop environment. This update offers users enhanced aesthetics and usability, marking a notable change for the operating system that focuses on security and pen-testing.
Available in two versions, the Security edition is equipped with numerous pre-installed cybersecurity tools, while the Home edition caters to everyday users with privacy protection features. Users can select their preferred version during the download process, which includes a brief questionnaire aimed at tailoring the experience.
Installation is straightforward, as evidenced by the successful deployment of the Security version on various hardware, including Intel devices, despite indications of AMD64 compatibility. The user interface stands out with a visually appealing boot screen and a unique desktop design that goes beyond the standard KDE Plasma offerings, making it an attractive choice for users interested in both aesthetics and functionality.
