Experiance with kali linux 2.0

I took Kali Linux 2.0 and for the most part I'm really impressed with this Kali 2.0.  The most striking feature i noticed may be the bullet point items like tiles in windows 8

Upgrading

I decided to go with Kali Linux 2.0 after a long years with previous version which i don't like a little bit (oops some personal reasons). Once i downloaded Kali 2.0 from https://www.kali.org/downloads/
I have 2 options go with a upgrade or install from scratch .I decided to go with a fresh install (for dual booting Kali and windows 10). Even a small kid can install Kali 2.0 its very simple but if you are going to dual boot please make sure internet is connected to your PC while installing Kali else you will get into some trouble while installing this (Something with boot loader -There are some workarounds in some forums and they don't help me a lot.)once i successfully installed Kali Linux 2.0 its take control of my boot loader and " I'm like whoa  its dual booting" .As normal i selected Kali and after some black windows and some text I'm into the login area where my username is "root" and password "********"(something you entered while installing")and for the best reasons I'm into Kali 2.0 .
My WiFi is working (but keep disconnecting after some time interval)
battery performance OK (ya I'm using a laptop)
Graphics OK (later i messed things by installing nvidea driver but with help of terminal i pulled it back)

What didn't work

Most things just worked. All my programs opened without a hitch. This is to be expected, as most applications that work with kali previous version  should be compatible with Kali 2.0.

I only had an issue with one program. My ntfs formatted drive failed to open it gives me some error like "failed to mount blah blah blah"(I'm already said I'm dual booting ). After some terminal work rounds ntfs started to obey me and its open like charm( hell ya i defeated windows )

Kali Linux 2.0 Features


Kali 2.0 up-to-date in a global, continuous manner my problem with WIFI automatically goes away after some updates .When i started to work with
"There’s a new 4.0 kernel, now based on Debian Jessie, improved hardware and wireless driver coverage, support for a variety of Desktop Environments (gnome, kde, xfce, mate, e17, lxde, i3wm), updated desktop environment and tools – and the list goes on and there is an inbuilt screencasting tool so that you can record desktop,


Glitches

Most of the glitches that I've experienced are on minor, but they're still there. Some of them goes away with update.The default browser has some minor issues with more number of tabs open.(Im not including any of those advanced penetration tools glitches)

Early conclusions

Kali 2.0 is all set to become a daily operating system .its stable ,great performance ,and much more make it a beast. There are still issues to work out for early  version, but considering the number of hardware that Kali is designed for and purpose of this OS , my experience so far has been great.And for last when stability meats advance tools the beast becomes something called Kali Linux 2.0

This is my experience in 1 week (exams going on that's why late post and didn't get enough time to complete checking process but i will keep updating it )
