I am trying to get rid of the need to dual boot Ubuntu and windows and one thing I can do with windows I can not do with Linux is to run Bluestacks to play android games my favourite one ow is clash of clans. I have tried different VM's to run android emulators and virtual box but nothing works for clash of clans I can download the game to the VM from Google Play Store but it fails to open

If Ubuntu can fix this by making a way to successfully install Bluestacks on Ubuntu or Android with Virtual box with out loading errors of all apps/games it would help the Linux community to become less dependant of Windows.

Thanks in advance! go Ubuntu!

    Bluestacks does not work in VirtualBox; it complains that the graphics card is unrecognized and refuses to install. Clash of Clans does not work on GenyMotion.

  • Every version of Bluestacks has a "garbage" quality rating for wine: appdb.winehq.org/…
