I thought I'll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I'll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

Guess you mean replicate your existing install from the VM.

Backup your /home from the VM
Save the output of dpkg -l to a text file and work with that, or use something like apt-clone https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=apt-clone

From there, install Kali Linux, and restore the relevant parts.

Oh very cool thank you. In one way I meant more simply just if Kali is decent as a daily driver complete desktop, rather than just as a specialized toolkit.

Kali Linux is based on Debian, so I guess you'll be fine.
