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

I'm looking for a lightweight distro that runs android apps
This isn't really a distro, but you could try Anbox, which wouldn't have the performance overhead of a virtual machine.

What is your opinion on Linux?
You don't need to use CrOS Flex, you can use Brunch, it's another to run ChromeOS but also allows you to use Android Apps on it (Which is the key feature of ChromeOS imo).

How do updates work on Brunch? Can I update to a new Chrome OS version like I can on a Chromebook, or do I have to do something special?
AFAIK there is no auto-updater in Brunch. Read about the project here: https://github.com/sebanc/brunch. Ask questons in r/Brunchbook.
