What OS do you use?

[Shadowfied]

Windows 10 on gaming desktop, Arch Linux on laptops.

Did I mention I use Arch Linux?

 

[Jack Daniels]

windows 10 pro x64 main pc, windows 10 home x64 notebook of my wife, android 4.2 on my cubieboard5 (not my choice i wished to install retropie, tried to mod the software but i ended too many failures, couldn't get the processor detected proper wich is strange since it's about just 2 raspberrie pi 2's in one). have a non used computer with kubuntu 16.04.

I used to dual boot windows and Ubuntu, but it took too much space so now I stick with windows 10.

Currently? Windows 7 + Linux Mint dual-boot and several Linux & Android VMs varying from Android 4.4->Arch Linux.

Windows 10 on my PC but thinking about going Android completely. Love the Android OS so much!

Dual-boot it. Android on PC has broken compatibility with some apps and even if your PC is powerful to run it, it will just crash.
The best would be to check if it even boots up from LiveCD [RemixOS for ex. Requires SoC or Intel CPU to run]

Might just buy an Android TV box and use that for its entirety but will need to buy one considerably powerful to last for years.

By the way, I've been downloading various apks of Sonic Runners Adventure by Gameloft and none of them have worked so far. Guess I'll just have to wait for the Play Store version and be patient.

Afaik, Gameloft slaps DRM for their Android apps so they will just throw license error, this can be fixed by patching google play services/samsung apps license check using one "lucky" thingy.

Already have an Android TV BOX few months ago for a 50 inches Sony TV and loving it.

Bummer. Will just have to wait for it to be released on Play Store.

What's the specs of that box?

Played some PSP games on my Geotel Note 4G phone which has 3GB RAM + 1.5 GHz and it ran mostly slow but older emulators/consoles work perfectly.

I do have an Android TV box myself but it only has 1GB RAM and tends to feel sluggish so I just use it to watch shows/movies on the USB.

On Gearbest (where I bought my recent phone from) only have up to 4GB RAM Android TV boxes so suppose that's the maximum right now. In terms of prices it's higher than expected and not sure all that would be suffice to run, like, the PSP emulator without slowdowns.

Sluggish ? Like what ? Mine is about 100 dollars (about 89 euro). I watch RTP and Portuguese channels and they don't sluggish at all. Remember, it is android 6.0 and what is your android version ? Below it with 16GB is no good. Android 6.0 and 16gb or more are the best.

When opening an app, using Chrome or anything than the one app I usually run takes a while to open.

Here's the specs of the box I have:

• Android 4.4.2
• Internal Storage: 5.33GB
• Memory: 357MB
• Processor: ARM Cortex-A5, Quad-Core

It's OK enough to load up the Spanish TV app I like to watch.

Buy the shield TV , it is more expensive but also powerful and comes with latest software.

Android is the OS that truly bridges the gap between windows and Mac OS, it has the customization and power of windows but the simplicity and versatility of MAC OS, I just plugged my printer in via OTG and no nuisance it just worked, unlike windows where I had to dload 197 mbs on dial up like speed.

Ahh.. Not bad. Mine is 6.0 and that might explained why you got sluggish like that. Since my brother had less than 6.0 and he is thinking about getting Android 6.0. It is the latest version. An Android 7.0 version come soon. Not much different from an Android 6.0, Saiyan.

The Shield TV is for sure technically far more advanced than any generic Chinese Android TV box. But say, does 3GB RAM make a huge difference compared to 4GB RAM? Shield TV without the TV Remote or Controller probably would be way cheaper.

It's not about RAM, the shield TV has 64-bit chip and a faster processor which is not only good for games but also much smoother, plus it can emulate gamecube at full speed (SSB Melee is sure to work)

Excellent. Thank you.
