I like Magisk very much, I see many people are switching to KSU but honestly for me that seems like a headache if Magisk works well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

KSU is a polish punk rock band from Ustrzyki Dolne

In Android it's a kernel based root solution - https://kernelsu.org/

Really? i think KernelSU is pretty simple to install, just look for a zip compatible with your kernel version and flash it. Patching boot.img with Magisk is the complicated way lol

and flash it

I always do the same with Magisk lol

Rename apk to zip and flash it with TWRP.

I like KSU, because thanks to it I'm able to easily root my device. But as soon as I got the temporary root, I immediately installed Magisk lol

I'm not sure I understand that.
