MagiskHidePropsConf VS anbox

It’s a module, but interestingly it seems to have been abandoned in the last couple of months. This module is primarily for spoofing the CTS Profile so that an uncertified OS like Lineage can appear to be a certified one like OOS.

I know MagiskHidePropsConf is depreciated and not developed anymore plus my model isn't in it's fingerprint database.

Maybe try magiskhide prop conf https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf/

As others noted: it depends on the apps you'd like to use. I can recommend installing Magisk, enabling Hide, setting the Zygisk blacklist for the problematic apps and installing these modules - https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix - https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf

Yes, usually Universal SafetyNet Fix already does the trick, and sometimes (if you have root) MagiskHide Props Config is also required.

If you don't pass: Install the MagiskHide Props Config by Didgeridoohan, check again

It's definitely possible, you have android virtualization options for linux like QEMU, VirtualBox, Anbox, WayDroid, but most of these are either not great or a bit too advanced for this. Easiest / best bet off the top of my head is dual booting Windows and using BlueStacks

This isn't really a distro, but you could try Anbox, which wouldn't have the performance overhead of a virtual machine.

Maybe with Anbox

If school apps have an android alternative anbox may allow you to use it on your linux desktop... Just a thought!

last commit was in september, seems like development has stalled. Let's pretend I said waydroid then.

Anbox - Android emulation (although AFAIU they're mostly a dead project now in favor of Waydroid... Although IIRC, Anbox does not require Wayland)
