Android Studio Error | Emulator: emulator: ERROR: VkCommonOperations.cpp:496: Failed to create Vulkan instance

As the title shows I have an issue with Android Studio on my Linux Mint 19.3. I've tried to install Android Studio via the official download page, the Software Manager and now latest via snap. The failed to create vulkan instance is the first error of many when I try to launch an app in android studio 3.6.1. The emulator screen is black and nothing happens.

I run Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia base: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic on a Dell XPS 13 9343 and the Kernel: 5.3.0-40-generic x86_64. I have all drivers installed.

This is the event log when I try to launch my app:

I found a way to lauch emulator after understanding it was a GPU issue...

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Made upgrade my Nvidia GPU drivers and changed problem to another :

Blockquote Error while Running Android Application - Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, use '-gpu off' to disable it

So according to this issue and this answer I changed the emulated device for one that allowed me to change 'Software-GLE 2.0' for Graphics，not select 'Automatic' or 'Hardware-GLE 2.0' (emulate graphics in software) (not all of them allow to change it) I used Galaxy Nexus API 30 - R and emulation worked, even I still have this SO_REUSEPORT error ! Hope it can help someone ...
