## What it is
ZeroTermux is a fork of the Termux Android terminal emulator that adds features like backup/recovery, container switching, package mirror switching, and Linux distribution installation (Ubuntu, Kali). It is aimed primarily at Chinese users, defaulting to Tsinghua and Beijing package mirrors.

## Use cases
- run a Linux terminal on Android
- install Ubuntu or Kali on an Android phone
- back up and restore my Termux environment
- switch package mirrors in China
- run multiple isolated Termux containers
- use Termux with fast domestic mirrors

## When to choose
- you are a user in China who needs fast domestic package mirrors
- you want container switching or backup/recovery features not in official Termux
- you want to run Linux distributions on an Android device

## When to avoid
- you are outside China - the official Termux app is recommended
- you need long-term official support or commercial use (prohibited by its license statement)
- you want a fully upstream-maintained terminal emulator
