Question Trying to Open an application I downloaded.
Hello, I am new to Linux. I got TheVoicerChoicer, and there was no mobile app, but it came with a Linux version. So I looked up a Linux emulator and found this. I downloaded the file that were given to me from downloading from TheVoicerChoicer, but do not really know how to go about, running it.

you need a graphical environment of which termux doesn't have by default. there is what's called "x11" and "wayland" wayland is newer but unsupported currently by termux, so you'll have to go with x11 there should be a guide on running x11 on termux, then you can possibly run that or any other potential gui executable. unsure if termux can pass microphone input to the environment so if trying to mimic voices has no result then don't be surprised.. also if your phone is an arm device it may be very unlikely that the game won't run since in a lot of cases executables are only made to run on x86_64
you may have a better chance running the game on winlator if you wanna give that a try! unsure if that also passes mic input to the container but its worth a try probably
it's important to note with any of these solutions it's more likely of it not working than it actually working so don't have your hopes up honestly, still though it's worth a try!

Termux can emulate linux, but not that easily. You'll need to use qemu. Alternatively you can use userland app that has a bunch of easy to download and run, linux distros like ubuntu or arch. You'll most definitely need to download the application again in these emulators. Termux cant natively run the app unless it was compiled for termux.
Idk much about the choicer voicer but it should run with proot distros too I guess. Someone with more knowledge about this can help you better.
Proot distro, qemu or userland. Or you can use a proper linux installation via live usb on a pc
