Forum Thread: Kali linux making a new user persistence?

Hey im new to kali linux and need a bit of advice. Ive just created a bootable kali linux usb, and ive partitioned the usb and set up to persistence conf. So now when i boot into kali linux persistence anything i do is saved.

My question is: i read that logging in as root is a bad security procedure. I know how to create a new user but will that automatically be a persistence user or what?
