Hi y'all,
Interesting faux pas on the Bluestacks web page: Trying to download using
Debian it switches to a page with lots of fuss but only one wee information:
"Your operating system is not supported"
Hey guys! I can download anything with any OS and install it on my MAC or any
MS-Windows OS I own if I choose to - NOT?
The developers or sales people of Bluestack seem to live in a very, but very
narrow world.
So short answer is: Bluestack not available on Linux.
Cheers
Eike
