Capture The Flag (CTF) events are competitive cybersecurity challenges that simulate real-world scenarios, testing participants’ skills in various areas of information security.
These events typically involve solving puzzles, exploiting vulnerabilities, and defending systems, all within a controlled environment.
CTFs can range from small, local competitions to large-scale international events, each offering unique learning opportunities and challenges.

Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Gentoo, NixOS, Qubes OS, Tails
Personally I would kill Qubes and Tails already, rather than choosing a distro designed for a single purpose, I would rather chose a general purpose. As everything in Qubes can be implemented in other general purpose systems. Qubes and Tails are not alien technologies.
Using Qubes and Tails in my humble opinion not doing you any good as it shouts out that you are special, or more than special. In some way, special equals to uniq. If you are a activist or whatever political sensitive person and you are not a hacker, then you can consider using Tails such kind of distro.
NixOS and Gentoo are taking things to the extremes.
NixOS philosophy is to be reproducible. Make everything easier. Imagine you broke your system and you have to start from scratch build the whole system again, maybe boot into a rescue mode and save your data. Install every package. Change endless configurations.
NixOS saves your time and effort with one configuration file (even tho no one is doing so in a single file). And you can run package in a virtual temperury env without worrying about apps shit in your system. But in order to use this thing, you have to spend some time dive into it and learn the basics.
Gentoo is really not for small brains like you and me. If you don’t value your time. Go ahead. Have fun with it. It’s a lot of fun.
