pimpmykali VS CVE-2009-2698

I hated that there were entire debloater software programs that had to be made, in order to get some amount of sanity back over what was installed. The closest thing I can think of like this for Linux is PimpMyKali, but that's not so much about bloat as it is about resolving some common issues or misconfigurations.

I'd recommend installing pimpmykali to fix some of the known issues with the OS. Make sure to run it with the "N" flag.

If you know how to turn off CPU mitigations, you can do that. If you don't know how to do that, you can use pimpmykali and run the "Fix Grub" option, then reboot. Mitigations aren't a big deal for a pentesting VM and significantly speed up the performance.

i remember seeing it in a video that whenever they open a new kali vm they run this script to fix common kali bugs that exist in the VM release. anybody got taughts on this?

The error: unrecognised import path "embed". So I guess it has something to do with the golang binary path?? Golang was installed via the pimp my kali scriptif that helps figure this out
