(As my Profile says... Retired, old school, re-learning.. haha..)
Some of my previous posts have been about my (now successful) utilization of various VirtualBox 'Guests', like Mac-OS, Ubuntu-Mate, and Android-X86,
mainly for the simple purpose of self education, and a bit of fun!! However, I can't help myself from delving under the hood!! As a Windows user, I've
never had to delve into 'Terminal' mode as much as I am now, especially with regards to Ubuntu/Linux. (Yes, I know you don't 'have' to as a basic user).
I WON'T get into the argument (truth) how they all started from some form of Unix/Linux anyway, but I am now slowly understanding & playing with all
the different under-hood File-Systems for all those above, which is SO different from Windows!! It took me a while to realize that there is NO simple Drive-C
or 'D' or what ever, as all such 'devices' are merely specific files/folders. After many hours of videos explaining the various OS 'file-structures', and how to find
my way around them, it's all starting to make sense!
I've come to one conclusion though, that I can't see the point(?) of setting up an Android-X86 Guest,
when BlueStacks does it all, SO much better/faster, & with virtually full hardware compatibility ??
Anyway... Re: BlueStacks, it doesn't take a Rocket-Scientist to realize/find 'BlueStacks Tweaker' !! that can remove/block all the Ads, 'ROOT' it, and amongst
other things include a powerful simplistic file viewer, that works under the hood. Although now playing with Terminals has greatly increased the Fun, when
in 'SuperUser' modes, at folder/file level. I've also done some software 'cracking' just for fun!, delving deep into Mac-OS & Android, and editing certain files.
It's been a fun ride so far, and I keep on learning!
