Kali Linux is the most popular operating system for security professionals for two reasons. First, it has all the popular penetration-testing tools preinstalled in it, so it reduces the cost of a separate installation. Secondly, it is a Linux-based operating system, which makes it less prone to virus attacks and provides more stability during penetration testing. It saves you time as you don't have to install the relevant components and tools, and who knows when you may encounter an unknown error during the installation process.
