Despite being a KDE desktop, the system is responsive, even on older, less performance-oriented machines. The responsiveness is probably due to the modular approach, as was the case with the Slax KDE, which was just as fast. Personally, I also like the fact that I can save exactly the changes I want to a module, and if I don't, when I reboot the system is exactly as it was before the last reboot, allowing me to experiment without breaking the system. When I'm sure it's the way I want it, I save the system to the module. The next step is to install the latest version of Wifislax on the USB with Rufus and persistence, and hopefully it will be as responsive as the current one. For now, I use it as a secondary OS on my stacionary PC. Was this review helpful?

Six years ago, back when it could be downloaded, Wifislax had certain wifi-oriented tools that were lacking in similar collections suck as Kali Linux. For example, it would work fine with cheap hardware such as Realtek, which (at the time) was not universally supported. But it also had nice tool such as AirSSL to demonstrate the evil twin wifi hotspot attack, and conversely it had EvilAPDefender which could warn you when it looked like someone else was running an evil twin wifi hotspot. As the name suggests, it was a collection of security tools with a focus on wifi, so if that's the particular aspect of security that you are interested in, this was the go-to collection of tools. Other collections such as Kali LInux will have a wide assortment of tools for wifi security, but being a more generalist collection, they will also have lots of other tools which might not be of interest to you, if it's just the wifi security that you're interested in. The flip side is that while Wifislax might have more tools about wifi security, Kali Linux will curate only the best few tools, so the extra tools that Wifislax includes might be more like diamonds-in-the-rough rather than the cream of the crop. But at least they were extra tools, so you could try them out, and pick and choose what works for you. It's a shame that it doesn't appear to be possible download it any more.
