Comments by "Perhaps" (@NoEgg4u) on "Lawrence Systems" channel.

I use neither. I use KeePass (not KeePassXC). Why? KeePassXC is an unofficial fork of KeePass. Perhaps that unofficial fork will continue to be supported by someone? But I am not keen on doing the research to determine who, and how many people, are actively involved with KeePassXC, and their level of commitment. I have the same concerns about any software that I use, including (the official) KeePass. But being that KeePass is the official version, I feel more comfortable with it in the long run. So unless there is a compelling feature or some other reason to use KeePassXC over KeePass, why roll the dice with KeePassXC? I would appreciate if someone would chime in if they have an answer, because my question is not designed to knock KeePassXC. My question is because I am seeking an answer to learn.

@davelloyd- It seems that the main benefit of KeePassXC is the ease of use for browser plug-ins. I steer clear of plug-ins, because they help trackers identify you by the uniqueness of your browser's configuration. So I keep my browser vanilla. I choose to give up features and convenience for a bit more privacy and security. Thanks for the info.

@5:07 "It comes in a couple of different flavors" (Home/Workstation and Security) Is the Home/Workstation distro identical to the Security distro, absent the inclusion of the myriad of security applications that come preinstalled? In other words, are the two distros basically identical, except that the Security version simply includes lots of pre-installed security related applications? I want to divorce myself from Windows, and this looks like a great distro for my next computer. But I have to decide which of the two Parrot distros would be best suited for me. I am not into all of the forensics tools that come with the Security version (but I would like to learn). So aside from the Security version taking more disk space (which is not really an issue these days), can I install the Security version, and just not use the Security tools until I have a need or want to learn about them? In other words, can I use the Security distro the same as the Home/Workstation distro, by simply ignoring the additional security tools? Is there a reason, or some advantage, or a situation where it is more advantageous to install the Home/Workstation distro? Do both versions have the AnonSurf feature? @22:46 "over 600 (security tools)" This intrigues me. But how does someone that is new to this wrap their head around this blizzard of tools? Does the distro offer a synopsis of function/purpose of what each of the 600 tools do? Or do you have to use 3rd party internet resources to get information for each one? If it is the latter, then that is quite tedious. I hope there is a feature, such as hoovering over the item, to see a sentence or two for what it does. Great review.

Hi Tom, I found your channel today, and this is the first video that I watched. It was great. Gave it a thumb's up and will probably subscribe if I like your other videos. The Parrot Security distribution is a great alternative to Tails, because when you do not need anonymity, Parrot allows you to use your computer without the delay of the Tor network. I am somewhat new to Linux (I want to divorce myself from Microsoft), and was going to install MX Linux. But after watching this video, I am leaning towards Parrot. Question: Assuming not doing something stupid, like logging into a google account, do you consider Parrot's implementation of Tor to be as secure as Tails for security and anonymity? Thank you.
