      I'd instantly say BlueStack not really tried many others

          Is there an advantage to using BlueStacks over just downloading the x86_64 ISO?

                You just mean running Android x86 in a VM? Or just live booting the PC into Android x86 when you want to run Android apps?

                  Yeah in a VM.

                      It was a genuine question. I've never run BlueStacks. I was just wondering if it does anything special.

                        Yes, the advantage is it's managed by BlueStacks and you don't have to dual boot or manage a "VM".

                        The disadvantage is that you can't run Hyper-V or have it enabled at the same time.

                        Otherwise it's personal preference of how you want to deal with it.

                        I didn't know there was a x86_64 iso either. But still, I would rather use BlueStacks because it's such a good experience.

                          That doesn't work correctly on KVM / QEMU unless thats changed

                            Ah ok. I had one I used a few years ago and wasn't sure if that was the same one. It's been forever since I did it and I only needed it once for a few mins.

                              Ha so now I was curious. It does work in KVM now. They give you a separate launcher to make it a little easier.

                                  I just noticed there's no support for Linux so that's probably why I've never used it. I don't have any Windows devices so that's most likely why I just used the ISO however many years go.

                                    Yeah we had a thread about it here and I remember you testing it as well. We couldn't get the mouse input to work correctly

                                          Google's Android Emulator works on linux, windows and mac. It's part of the SDK for developing Android applications so it better work.

                                          Also running Android x86 in Virtualbox works on both linux and windows. Virtualbox in general works with a much wider variety of guest OSs than KVM, Xen, Hyper-V, VMware etc.

                                          Android X86 images ready to deploy on VirtualBox:

                                            BlueStack works awesome. All she is trying to do is make Gacha Life videos on a screen bigger than her phone anyway.

                                            As a sub note... Holy fuck her laptop is slow... Looking back I bought it for the girls for Christmas 2013.

                                            And it was Random_Laptop_On_Sale_06 at BestBuy at the time. So it was never a high performer....

                                            Time to look at an upgrade.
