## What it is
Kalimux is a bash script that automatically installs Kali Linux with a GUI inside Termux on Android, without requiring root. It uses proot and a VNC viewer to provide a real Kali Linux desktop environment on non-rooted devices.

## Use cases
- install kali linux in termux without root
- run kali linux gui on android phone
- set up a portable pentesting environment on android
- use kali linux tools from termux
- get a desktop linux environment on a non-rooted android device

## When to choose
- you want Kali Linux on an Android device without rooting it
- you need a lightweight, script-driven Kali setup inside Termux
- you want a GUI desktop experience for Kali on mobile via VNC

## When to avoid
- you need a native or officially supported Kali installation
- you require full hardware access or kernel-level tooling (proot is not a VM)
- you want a maintained, security-audited installer rather than a hobby script

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools, security
- domain: security, operating-systems, penetration-testing
- platform: cli
- tags: termux, kali-linux, proot, vnc, bash-script, no-root, gui, command-line, android
