both Linux operating systems have 1. A friendly user interface, 2. A hidden terminal, and 3. A locked down root user, to avoid dangerous actions!! Why do people seem to dislike Android when Ubuntu is similar to it??

      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.

        it’s not accurate to say android is centred on touch input. Android has some of, if not the most diverse input options, mouse and keyboard works fine, also there is a large library of apps compatible with remotes/gamepads. While that might be how a lot of people normally interact with it, android is very well developed to be diverse
