I've been trying to install ReDroid following this guide (replacing docker with podman) but the container gives only the following output:

Running ARM-only Android games on x86 Linux PC
The building insturction is here. You have to manually build a ReDroid image with Gapps...It took me 7 hours and thank god now Gapps is working.

Revisiting Android on Linux
I would say redroid is better. docker-android seems to be something geared towards developers.

Might want to check out ReDroid

Chrome OS Adventure Installing firefox
And even better Android is a Linux too, and can run inside containers(*like separate operating systems from the same families sharing the same kernel) in every Linux distros you could find, for example Chrome OS' Android container, Anbox, Waydroid, Redroid benefits from that.

Trying to understand what Chrome OS/Crostini really is and getting a clear hierarchical diagram in my head..
4- Android is a Linux distribution, basically same kernel can run both GNU userland of Chrome OS and Bionic Libc/ART userland of Android, without needing much resources, this is called containerization. It is nothing new, any regular GNU/Linux distro can run Android containers, Redroid for example.

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?
