Android or Linux for basic tasks/emulation

I'm considering ro try android or linux once the patch comes out for the latest version, what should i get?

Android is pretty easy to configure but there are some bugs to say the least when i first tried it

With Linux however, i haven't tried it yet but i am very used to it, and since it uses lower resources and sometimes it's snappier, i might get that instead

so which should i get?
