🛠️ Fixing the Kali Linux “Missing Key” APT Repository Error (2025)

If you recently tried running sudo apt update on Kali Linux and were greeted with a scary error like this:

2025-03-25T00:00:00Z

When Microsoft released Windows 11, it came with a slew of new features, a sleek design, and some intriguing system requirements—like the mandatory TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. But beneath the surface, there’s a theory gaining traction among tech enthusiasts: Is Windows 11 essentially a virtual machine (VM) running on top of a hypervisor? Let’s dive into this concept, explore the evidence, and see what it means for users.

What’s a Hypervisor, Anyway?

Before we get into Windows 11, let’s clarify what a hypervisor is.

There are two types: Type 1 (bare-metal, like VMware ESXi) and Type 2 (hosted, like VirtualBox). The idea here is that Windows 11 might be leveraging a hypervisor-like architecture to run as a VM, even on your everyday PC.
