I want to install LINE app on this laptop. Acer 315 41g with Ubuntu linux version 18.10 installed. I searched for info but found little and years old.
Line APP "Line is a Chat platform similar to Whatsapp and it's available for Android and Windows but does not support Linux at the first sight."
I am very new to Linux, and also to Ask Ubuntu, apologies for errors due my current lack of understanding of both.

It seems, the best solution for now would be to install the google chrome app.
First install google chrome and then, in chrome follow this link:
3Apparently in the case of Line, there's an important distinction between a Chrome "APP" and a Chrome "EXTENSION".
(1) The Chrome "EXTENSION" that Bruni pointed out above does work. It was updated to 2019 July 25 as of this writing:
(2) In contrast, this Chrome "App" for Line, dated 2018 March 7, doesn't work on my Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. I had used Ubuntu 14.xx and had the same issue.
Yet this "App" appears near the top of Google search results. This may be confusing users trying to install Line on desktop. Thus it is useful to point out specifically that it does not work.
This is the "APP" that should be avoided if you come across it:
