i'm typing this on a ASUS ""laptop"" with eMMC 32GB 2GB memory plastic garbage that came with Windows 10.
I installed Linux MInt xfce and it's better. still hard to even watch youtube 720p sometimes.

For an intro? Use Ubuntu with KDE Plasma. Be prepared to do a lot of googling, progress will be incremental

You don't know anything about Linux and you suddenly decide you're going to start pen testing?

user you shouldve just bought a used corporate dell laptop from ebay.
$100 for i5, 4 cores, 1 tb hdd (sometimes 128 - 256 gb ssd), integrated graphics.
in my country theres $50 shipping since theyre all form the us, but still.
i couldve saved $100 on my laptop, but for the ryzen 5 gpu i got i guess it was worth it. convenient at least, good for gayming.

just get gnome and gnome tweaks (desktop icons, dash to panel & arcmenu if you want a traditional desktop analogue).
gnome has many more jannies than kde so it actually just works.

Look up Bash tutorials on youtube to get you started. Good luck.

I should've added learning, my bad.

You need to learn how Linux works on a basic level before you can even begin thinking about doing pentesting. Download Ubuntu and make it your primary operating system for 3-6 months AND ONLY DO SHIT VIA THE TERMINAL. By then you should have a basic sense of how to work with bash that you can progress onto learning higher subjects like how the kernel works and networking.

could I just use kali linux to learn it the hard way?

ryzen 5 3450u with radeon vega 8... integrated graphics.
i think i scammed myself bros. only 256 gb ssd too, apparently that slows my 8 gb of ram. possibly.
$150 more for similar specs, but hell it wasnt used for 3 years and it works.

Stop fucking being retarded and do what people tell you. You know nothing about Linux, what the fuck are you going to do with Kali? None of the programs will make sense because you have no idea what they do or how to operate them. Its just a giant list of program names at your skill level. Fucking install the toddlerOS called Ubuntu and learn Linux by using it day to day. Any problems you google how to do it via the terminal, learn how to do bash scripting, how to compile, how to start and stop services.
