Kali Linux and Puppy Linux - a Comparison

 Puppy Linux is a lightweight operating system. The developers have kept in the ease of use while also minimizing the resources needed from the device itself to run the OS. Their own website claims that they are "grandpa-friendly certified". They also state that their product is a collection of multiple Linux distributions, meaning that each user can choose (or even create) from a wide variety of "flavors". The operating system is created for pretty much everyone, and even if the person does not need anything special (a regular grandpa), it is easy to use and lightweight, will most probably run nicely on grandpa´s old laptop.

Kali Linux, on the other hand, is very much directed towards IT professionals, more precisely, cyber security professionals. On their website, they advertise making the customer´s job easier, being available for most platforms and their customizability. It requires at least 2GB of RAM while Puppy Linux can make do with just 600MB. 

Obviously, the choice of OS is often mostly based on the user´s interest and tastes, however, in this case, it is also very important to note the capabilities of the machine that the OS is being installed on.
