Why is Kali Linux so disproportionately popular with absolute beginners to Linux?
Kali is popular because it is designed for "pentesting" (Penetration Testing), and so it comes with a lot of hacking tools. Everyone now days wants to be a hacker I guess. There are other "Pentesting" Distros out there, but Kali seems to be the newest and most updated. More on reddit.com

What version of Debian is the most recent Kali running on?

There is a page in the Kali docs called Kali's Relationship With Debian that answers your question in the first sentence.

The Kali Linux distribution is based on Debian Testing.

It's not a stupid question. It's a possibly very important question. Here is how I found the answer:

  1. startup Kali

  2. start default Kali web browser

  3. click docs bookmark supplied in the Bookmarks Toolbar

  4. type "Debian" in search box

edit - correct main docs page link

It's not. I have done it for years. As Kali is based on Debian, but ahead of Debian stable or complementary to Debian testing, there cannot be any trouble. Even if it are Linux, there can be dangerous.
