Good evening, I wanted to ask you if you know a suitable software to install android apk on this operating system thanks.

You probably need some kind of containerization. Like Anbox.

also try the emulator in android studio and waydroid.

If you already have an android phone you could use scrcpy, it doesn’t install apks but instead allows you to use your phone through the pc

apparently, Google also launched Google Play for PC beta, but so far only Windoze is supported:

You can download and run android in a VM with https://www.android-x86.org/

A thousand thanks

I use this to get the t mobile free MLB.tv subscription. I setup a VM to download the app since i don’t have Google play on my phone (graphene OS) so I run a VM to get it once each spring
