## What it is
SukiSU-Ultra is a kernel-based Android root solution providing kernel-level su and root access management, with support for KPM kernel modules and Magic Mount module system. It includes a manager app for controlling root privileges and supports both GKI and non-GKI kernels from 3.x through 5.4+.

## Use cases
- root my android device at the kernel level
- grant and manage per-app root permissions on android
- hide root from banking apps with susfs
- flash a rooted kernel on a GKI 2.0 phone
- load kernel patch modules (KPM) on android
- root an older non-GKI android device
- manage systemless modules like magisk

## When to choose
- you need kernel-level root with strong hiding capabilities (susfs/KPM)
- you have a GKI 2.0 device or an older non-GKI kernel (4.x-5.4)
- you want an actively maintained alternative to KernelSU or APatch
- you need per-app root profiles and WebUI-based module management

## When to avoid
- your device has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked
- you are not comfortable flashing custom kernels via recovery
- your manufacturer heavily modifies the kernel and no custom build exists
- you only need userspace root without kernel modification
