I’ll start!
It is year 1.4 on the asteroid and a copy of “The Individual in Question, Whose Inclinations and Affections Do Not Align with Your Expectations, Displays a Sufficient Lack of Interest Towards Your Personage, Consequently Resulting in the Verifiable Conclusion That They Are Not Enthusiastically Engaged in Establishing Any Form of Emotional or Romantic Connection with You.” (Also titled, “He/She/They Are Just Not That Into You”).
Just in case anyone needs to hear this, 12 hours ago was also too late.
Shins are pretty week. You should be able to kick right through them with less force than needed to hold up your body.
I remember these being suggested to me as a newbie a long time ago.
Please continue to learn! It’s great to bring new perspectives to play.
I kind of answered this elsewhere in the thread, but here is my answer to you.
If you are referring to basic OS level functions, they are super similar, but they are also wildly different.
Ubuntu is based on Debian. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen. It uses a Canonical kernel.
Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input. It uses a heavily customized AOSP kernel.
While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, they have wildly different kernels.
Here is a pretty lengthy write up on the subject by Richard Stallman.

Oh, I forgot about Chromebooks and ChromeOS. They are similar, but there are significant differences.
ChromeOS is based on Gentoo. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen.
Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input.
While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, we are comparing a different Linux flavor against Android.
Also, my answer is probably generic enough to answer OP.
Are you in a local user group, like a Linux club?
Are you talking about mobile OS? I can’t imagine using Android as a desktop.
The biggest differences are the available packages and the that Android is typically heavily locked down to prevent user access.
Oh grubs, do we have any more towels?
