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. Source: about 1 year ago
This isn't really a distro, but you could try Anbox, which wouldn't have the performance overhead of a virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago

Does anyone know a way to play Minecraft bedrock on Linux(specifically fedora). I used to use this launcher: mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io, But it has been discontinued and no longer works with the latest version, which I need to be able to play on a friend's real.

Do you have any pc set up with adb and fastboot tools? If not, please do so. Otherwise go to xda-developers.com and pick any ROM you may find interesting or just go with this You'll probably also want to install gapps, so download the following from here ARM/11.0/pico. Source: 10 months ago
For older versions of Lineage, there was a download at https://opengapps.org/ to choose f.e the pico package. Also, the OpenGapp package for Lineage 18 did not contain many Google tools. The help pages of lineage/openGapps is pointing to https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps where a download for any unknown version is available. Choosing this package for Lineage 19, I got the whole advertisement for Google back. :-(. Source: about 1 year ago
For GAPPS it did not work with the suggested GAPPS since I got an error, so I used OpenGAPPS based on this form, install GAPPS error. I downloaded and installed gapps from https://opengapps.org/ with the settings ARM64, 11.0, nano. Source: over 1 year ago
LOS 19.1 is based on Android 12 but there's only up to Android 11 on here https://opengapps.org/. So like do I just install the 11 one? Source: over 1 year ago
