Android app's under GNU/Linux

I want a simple and lightweight solution without bloatware. I’ve heard about Wayland and other options, but I’m confused about VMware, VirtualBox, and QEMU.

I need to run an educational app that shows videos and PDFs, and has some webview. I’m not interested in gaming or heavy tasks.

Should I use QEMU? BlueStacks under wine?  What’s the best way to run an Android app without taking up too much storage, I have limited storage.

I use X11 and NVIDIA with an Intel CPU, which has an iGPU, but I haven't enabled it in the BIOS.

Re: Android app's under GNU/Linux

if its about presenting media I would ditch the app at all and just use the raw media
