Kali Post

Hi,

Here is my situation. I have been learning about Kali Linux while running it in a VM on my Windows 10 laptop. That laptop has died and, at least temporarily, has been replaced by a Chromebook (Acer Chromebook Plus 514, 8GB memory and a 500GB SSD). I have a work laptop that is more than up to the task of running Kali the way I was, but I prefer to keep work and personal stuff separate.

I am trying to sort out the possible ways to use Kali from my Chromebook and what would be best for me.

I am considering:

1.  Running Kali in droplet as described on this page : https://www.kali.org/docs/cloud/digitalocean/ . This would give me only command line access (which I am not sure I am ready to use 100% of the time). Is there a way to use this setup and have a GUI in a browser window ( is this page appropriate: https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/novnc-kali-in-browser/ ?)

2.  Installing Kali on an external SSD. What would be the advantages and disadvantages to doing this? A search in the forums for “Chromebook” did not reveal the results I was hoping  for.

3.  Give up and install the VM on my work laptop.

Any help or thoughts are appreciated. Did I miss any methods that might be better?
