Answer 1

Genymotion emulator nowadays doesn't support 32-bit operational systems.

The last version with 32-bit support was 2.4.0, but I don't recommend you to install it, as it may not have virtual devices with 5.0 and higher Android version.\

Try to use Android Studio's Android Virtual Devices, but...

Instead of using emulator on 32-bit, which might be very painful on this kind of machine, consider buying a cheap Android device, you don't need to have top phone if you're starting your Android journey.

Hope it will help

you can still use Genymotion as a 32bit version under Linux. This works with this trick: If you installed Virtualbox on 32bit Windows, you can install the 32bit Windows version of Genymotion. Now go to the order in which Virtualbox stores its VMs and copy the Genymotion folder into your Linux directory. Then start Virtualbox for Linux, add a new machine and select the folder where you copied Genymotion before. After minor adjustments, Genymotion should then run on Linux. Good luck Kurt
