So I'm getting a new laptop. It's going to be my laptop for college. I'm have chosen my courses and one of them is computer science. I don't want to use Windows and prefer Linux, because I grew up it. Another course of mine is Cyber Security.  I've use Debian, for most of my life but I'm looking for Linux Distro geared for Cyber Security. Any suggestions?

What aspect of Cyber Security are you looking for? 

 

Kali Linux is full of tools that are useful for the field.

Tails is meant to be secure and maintain privacy.

QubesOS is similar to Tails.

Kali Linux is the probably the goto for cyber security as it's basically created for penetration testing.
