I just want to know if you can, and what kind of applications can be downloaded.

    You can download them but to run them is a different story. – mchid Feb 01 '16 at 05:31

You could try the method described in the link posted by mchid above. If that doesn't work for you, you could also run Android-x86 in a virtual machine, as described here.

    Please, please, *please* don't just post links! They're known to go defunct and cause your answer to become completely useless. Here at AskUbuntu, we strive to make a permanently accessible archive of information that can be reached at any time -- if a link dies, your answer is essentially useless. It's far better to summarize the link in the post, and then link back to the original source(s). – Kaz Wolfe Feb 01 '16 at 08:18

Natively ? No. Through Android emulator ? Yes. You will need to download apk files for that , though (same as exe for Windows apps).

For instance, I've used Genymotion to install Chinese chatting client QQ

  • But where can I get an apk version? Isn't that for beta testing only. What if this specific app I wanna download doesn't have an apk version – Eloisa Perez Feb 02 '16 at 07:26
