Raspberry Pi image for Kali installs all manner of irrelevant, unnecessary, bloated crap. After doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, now I have a bunch of Apache services installed and running?

$ apt-get remove -y apache2 xfce4 xfwm4 | |||
$ apt-get -y autoremove | |||

===Vim Takes Forever To Open=== | |||
Not sure if this is a problem with vimrc or what, but vim takes a full 4-5 seconds to open, every damn time. How is this even possible? How can you possibly bloat such a lightweight and fast piece of software? Did I somehow install emacs in my sleep and run <code>alias vim='emacs'</code>? | |||

A list of annoyances in Kali.
Kali Installs X on Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi image for Kali installs all manner of irrelevant, unnecessary, bloated crap. After doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, now I have a bunch of Apache services installed and running? I have a desktop X server running? Are you kidding me?? This is a headless server. WTF is it installing X by default for?
Fix:
$ apt-get remove -y apache2 xfce4 xfwm4 $ apt-get -y autoremove
Of course, the REAL fix is to create your own Kali ARM image. See Kali/Custom ARM Image.
Vim Takes Forever To Open
Not sure if this is a problem with vimrc or what, but vim takes a full 4-5 seconds to open, every damn time. How is this even possible? How can you possibly bloat such a lightweight and fast piece of software? Did I somehow install emacs in my sleep and run alias vim='emacs'?
Network manager
On Kali, specifically the desktop, NetworkManager automatically remembers and connects to wireless networks. What is this dumb, I can't, what idiot, stupid, dumb decision, I don't even know. Whoever decided to turn that one on should go jump off a bridge.
Solution: disable this obnoxious piece of crap.
$ systemctl stop NetworkManager.service $ systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
Hidden Networks
No way to join a hidden network without turning off network manager and resorting to linux wifi command line wpa supplicant crap.
