I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand. Do you mean this OS is backdoored because if so I'll delete the thread right away. I was not aware of that.

I'll state the obvious and say to simply run It as a live OS.
Obviously the downside Is that once booted down, Installs and sessions cannot be saved.

i am also using Parrot OS...its very good and fast but it just cant beat kali...facing some minor bug but thats all right... i also created a list of top 5 hacking distros check it out http://www.cybersucks.tk/2016/10/top-5-operating-systems-for-hackers.html

Debian based. Now I have to try this one out. Time to get out vmware. And it even has a version for raspberry pi! Fuck yeah!

Which of them is better?

kali is the best because of updates and community support....

I can't get it to boot @ all. It won't proceed further than the boot screen. It boots just fine on my other machines. I'm not sure what the deal is. I had a similar problem
with Kali and had to navigate the boot menu blind. I'll try again once the OS gets further in development. It either has something to do with EFI or this damn retina display.

That's certainly strange.
Try messing around with the BIOS and/or boot settings. Disable (If available) UEFI and boot via Legacy Mode. Additionally, If you have "Secure Boot" enabled, It well and truly may give Issues when trying to boot with a Linux OS. For example, It may check the boot loader to make sure It's digitally-signed with Microsoft, and If you're trying to boot with Linux (being a non-trusted boot loader), It may prevent It from booting. So disable Secure Boot and see how you go from there.

Not sure we are on the same page. My main rig is a MacBook Pro w/retina. I can boot EFI/Legacy natively. ParrotOS even come with rEFInd and that won't boot it either. It just hangs up for no apparent reason. It might be hanging @ grub. It boots just fine on all my other rigs.
