@bryan_bennett Thank you for testing and for your comments.
I am starting to work on putting together a pr for Armbian.  It might take a while.
There is a problem with analog audio on Pulseaudio. It seems that if you open the Pulseaudio volume control, the analog audio starts to play at a higher speed.  This does not happen with HDMI audio.  It also does not happen if one controls audio with the app audio controls, eg + - on mpg123.

Actions:
 
updating template for building standard support images. Keeping Jammy CLI and Jammy XFCE desktop, upgrade other Jammy to Noble. Keeping old stable user-land with more recent kernel is actually a perfect combination.  download pages were adjusted to current status. branching to 24.5 freezing sources merging all board status changes making RC builds updating application builds lists updating 3rd party packages import regenerating repository with Ubuntu oracular switching nightly build targets to Ubuntu oracular generating RC images for application deployments returning armhf to Noble / Trixie  
RC0 RC1 (is in making) for testing:

Hello,
 
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I done it, becoz I can't live without it when quitting cinnamon for xfce.
It is like the thunar-archive-plugin (file-roller equivalent) that should be enabled by default imho.
I decided to release it here , this is my gift to armbian team to thanks for their work.

INSTALLATION
 
If you follow the README.md, you will have the magic custom action added
 
 
 
The demo:
 

 
Enjoy

Kali is in a lot of ways a polished SID with all of their own custom bits added. It can be debootstrap'd just like Debian, Devuan and Ubuntu. I did find some services didn't work on boot; 'ssh avahi bluetooth ntp'. But there could be some option they have I'm not aware of to allow those services to start out of the box. Creating a custom service to start those does the trick though.
 
I would think adding this as an option could be doable, but the question then becomes who wants to handle the support required to maintain it?
 

(Maintained as) Armbian with Kali applications already exists as an extension. Copy https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/extensions/kali.sh to extensions of your userspatches/extensions/ and try with:
 
./compile.sh ENABLE_EXTENSIONS="kali"  
Not sure if something is missing, but its pretty easy to add. Going this path saves you a lot of time.

As far as patched for hacking wireless drivers or/and kernel tweaks, we should have most of them, probably more then Kali Linux. In technical sense there are just userspace applications, which are IMO included into that extension. The rest, majority, about Kali is myth, produced by Hollywood and community.

On some download pages, you can already find ready to run images, X86 arch for example:
 

 
You can try that image on your PC, fine tune, then just build for whatever you want.

thanks. I understand your point of view.

For a clean system, you may need this key:  KEEP_ORIGINAL_OS_RELEASE=yes
The script that @Igor advises will add the Kali repository to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list file.
But one inaccuracy remains.
You'll probably want to change that: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/27a07d918e3e010f74dc24fcc17f510a8eb35252/lib/functions/rootfs/distro-specific.sh#L150
 
@Igor sid and unstable are synonyms of the same repositorysid and ustable.
sid|unstable) cat <<- EOF > "${basedir}"/etc/apt/sources.list deb ${DEBIAN_MIRROR} $release main contrib non-free non-free-firmware #deb-src ${DEBIAN_MIRROR} $release main contrib non-free non-free-firmware EOF Otherwise, apt will read the same thing twice.
