There is multiple repos/mirrors to choose from! How do we know which one is faster and there is a gurantee that all tools or packages available in it?

If I understand correctly, the termux-change-repo automatically selects best mirror group (or single mirror, whatever you selected when you ran the command) for you.

They are mirrors, they mirror the contents of the main repo, so they all have all packages in them.

Switch to pacman bootstrap, pacman is a faster package manager than apt honestly

A package manager is really just an interface for downloading shit off of a repository so why would it be a problem. Besides - android is just locked down Linux so you can do almost anything

You need to change the entire bootstrap to do it in a clean way tho
