Bought one of these a week ago and just now have time to get it set up. Want to try to use it as a desktop/laptop replacement for most things. I set up my desktop's a certain way and would like to try to do something at least similar on the tablet.
On my desktops I sandbox my browser inside a VMware virtual machine. I then set VMWare to start from a clean back-up disk image each time it starts. This means that I'm 100% sure that ANYTHING I pick up while using the virtual machine (viruses, tracking cookies, browser history, malware payloads, etc.) is erased each time I shut down. It also means anything good I pick up is erased too but I use Firefox sync to ensure bookmarks stay and I d/l to main HD instead of virtual HD. Since you can set VM virtual machines to have their own IP on the network I also shut down internet access to the real machine.
Is there a way I could do something similar on my tablet? I guess I could just restore from TWRP everyday? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
