Yes, you can run both an Android app and a Linux app at the same time. For example, at this moment I am running the Brave browser ( an Android app ) and VSCode ( a Linux app ) at the same time.
@Vince Winter: What's a "mini Linux environment"? Or did you mean "minimal"? The Linux Development Environment runs Debian 11 in an LXC container with very few packages installed. But you can install just about anything with a quick 'apt-get install ...'
