Bluestacks/Android emu on deck?
There are a lot of tutorials, but it depends what you want, and they aren't tailored to SteamOS (meaning they won't tell you stuff like disabling read-only or enabling sudo). You have this for VirtualBox, this for QEMU (as well as this and this), this for Anbox, this for WayDroid...

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.

Is there a way to get the netflix tv app on desktop?

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?
