Is Kali Linux Not Supported on Ryzen 5 2500U? One of my friends was successful in installing Manajaro on the same build, but there was a processor speed cap of 2GHz on this. What can I do to install Kali Linux on this build without any speed cap?
Have you asked your question at a Forum dedicated to Kali Linux like this one: https://forums.kali.org/ or this one looks useful: https://hackforums.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=327
google linux 4.18 that kernel just got released, I think it has better driver support for this new stuff. If you can update your kernel in your distro to it I don't know. Or hopefully they will update to it soon.
This is the latest KALI LINUX Update from Kali.org: https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-2018-2-release/ https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-2018-1-release/
Copied from above link:
This Kali release is the first to include the Linux 4.15 kernel, which includes the x86 and x64 fixes for the much-hyped Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. It also includes much better support for AMD GPUs and support for AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization, which allows for encrypting virtual machine memory such that even the hypervisor can’t access it.
If you spend any significant amount of time writing exploits, you are undoubtedly familiar with the various Metasploit scripts that are available, such as pattern_create, pattern_offset, nasm_shell, etc. You are likely also aware that all of these helpful scripts are tucked away under /usr/share/metasploit-framework/tools/exploit/, which makes them more than a little difficult to make use of. Fortunately, as of metasploit-framework_4.16.34-0kali2, you can now make use of all these scripts directly as we have included links to all of them in the PATH, each of them prepended with msf-.
In addition to the above changes, there have been updates to a number of applications including Bloodhound, Reaver, PixieWPS, Burp Suite, Hashcat, and more. Since there are far too many packages to include in a default ISO, to see the full list of changes, we encourage you to review the Kali Changelog.
If you would like to check out this latest and greatest Kali release, you can find download links for ISOs and Torrents on the Kali Downloads page along with links to the Offensive Security virtual machine and ARM images, which have also been updated to 2018.2. If you already have a Kali installation you’re happy with, you can easily upgrade in place as follows.
As always, if you encounter any bugs at all, we implore you to open a report on our bug tracker. We can’t fix what we don’t know about.
btw why using kali?
if you dont know what you are doing you can get in DEEP trouble - like you could get in need of buying "soap on a rope"
for productivity kali is of SMALL use - maybe if you are a pentester (what you arent, because of what you ask here)
better stick to ubuntu etc
