From the system design perspective:
Android uses Linux as the kernel.
Android has modified the Linux kernel to adapt to its applications on mobile devices.
As a branch of Linux, Andorid was deleted from the Development tree by the Linux kernel group because it cannot be incorporated into the main development tree of Linux.

Comparison of advantages and disadvantages:
1. To achieve full performance, install a complete Ubuntu operating system on the hard disk. This method is recommended for driver developers.
2. If it is convenient to switch to the Windows system, we recommend that you install Ubuntu through the Virtual Machine Software. This method is recommended for application developers.

In VMWare virtual machines, the simplest way to access host Windows files is to share a folder in Windows and then directly access it In Ubuntu.
