The answer lies in hardware compatibility and stability. The 4.10.1 final ISO is renowned for its exceptional support for legacy and "problematic" wireless chipsets. Many modern Linux kernels have deprecated older drivers (e.g., RTL8187L, RTL3070, Zydas 1211).

When written to a USB drive, 4.10.1 final allows for "persistence." This means you can save captured handshakes, custom scripts, and configurations directly on the same drive, surviving reboots.
