You mention “sane defaults”. That might mislead someone because it is ambiguous. The terminal
defaultsused to default to a root prompt, exemplifying that it isn’t a distro focused on sane defaults for a desktop distro.Kali is a tool for a specific job. Its meant mostly for hacking or troubleshooting/analysis, being an OS for executing a collection CLI/TUI and GUI utils.

It has not defaulted to root prompt in many years.
