What is the best distribution for penetration testing? I currently use Kali Linux. Is there another distribution rich in tools?

If you want to learn, take any linux distribution and install the tools as you learn. Use tryhackme to start with learning paths. It's better than taking a distribution dedicated to pentesting, which is like having a toolbox without knowing the mechanics....
