As a developer, it bothers me when someone sends me a large pdf file compared to the number of pages. Recently, I recieved a 12MB scanned document for just one letter-sized page... so I got to googlin, like I usually do, and found ghostscript!
to learn more abot ghostscript (gs): https://www.ghostscript.com/
What we are interested in, is the gs command line tool, which provides many options for manipulating PDF, but we are interested in compressign those large PDF's into small yet legible documents.

So you bought a ColorOS powered phone (Oppo/Realme) and aren't liking the decisions made by OS.
I use Customized Pixel Launcher which allows me to hide apps from App Drawer and get notification drawer by swiping down on homescreen. That pretty much makes the phone look like stock android.
The second thing you would want to do is uninstall useless apps that can't be disabled.
Nox, despite being the most feature-filled Android emulator, has a lot of negativity surrounding it due to their antics when it comes to making income off of their program. It is known for running repeated advertisments in the background, calling home and passing along system information (outside of your Android instance) as well as a vast amount of potentially sensitive data in an encrypted payload back to their multitude of servers. With the following preventitive measures, we can stop a majority of this happening as well as greatly improve the overall performance.
-
Download and Install a fresh copy of Nox. The latest version is fine (for now). If you already have it installed, that is fine too. No need to reinstall.
-
Enable Root Mode on Nox by clicking the gear icon and then checking the
Root Startupbox. -
Install a new Launcher from the Play Store. ANYTHING but Nox's default. I suggest [Nova Launcher](https://play.google.com/s

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.
For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.
Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.
