#22I knew nox has been adware for a while and I'm surprised it's still being used. Literally go to r/noxappplayer and you'll see most of the top posts are about it being malware. If anyone's need a good android emulator, genymotion is probably the best and it's free for personal uses https://www.genymotion.com/fun-zone/

This is one of the biggest advantages of linux.
Security by obscurity? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malware-found... Imagine how many more attacks there would be if Linux was much more popular.

#25Doesn't Google give out a free Android emulator?

Devs complaining about Android emulator performance usually have problems with their setup, common culprits: Not enough ram (it is a VM in the end), slow machine (eg. MacOS is bad for Android dev), broken VM acceleration (AMD was a problem for a while IIRC).

A quick search showed compromised packages in arch aur repos: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malware-found... You only change the focal point, but a centralised package manager is good for reasons other than security. Sure, a central tool will keep your whole system updated and improve security overall, but it won't prevent supply-chain attacks from happening. Reading mailing lists and being careful w…
