Alternative to google location history
I use PhoneTrack to log my position to a private Nextcloud server. It works great and you can even have different logs running at the same time, like one for every day tracking and one with more resolution for hiking.
-
"Find Device" alternative?
You can try out PhoneTrack (it is available on F-Droid too). It logs the phone's location to the Nextcloud app and is very customizable.

Android Find My Phone App?
You have to have this app installed on Nextcloud, and the Android app just sends data to it. More info on the pages of these repos!

OpenSource GPS tracker?
If you want a simple phone type tracker, there's a add-in for Nextcloud called PhoneTracker. I use it for my small business to decide which employee is closer to a service call. PhoneTracker

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.

Is there a way to get the netflix tv app on desktop?
Maybe with Anbox
-
I just want to use Linux :(
If school apps have an android alternative anbox may allow you to use it on your linux desktop... Just a thought!
-
Android tablets and Chromebooks are on another crash course – will it be different this time?
last commit was in september, seems like development has stalled. Let's pretend I said waydroid then.

Would you use/try snaps if it has open source backend?
Anbox - Android emulation (although AFAIU they're mostly a dead project now in favor of Waydroid... Although IIRC, Anbox does not require Wayland)
- Anbox not working on Ubuntu 22.10
- Patching x86 Android apps to run on x86 Linux?
- is there a emulator to be able to play old android games on my samsung 20?
What are some alternatives?
