Quite a bit actually, if you've only worked with Android Java ecosystem you probably won't see it, but if you're working with the Android NDK at least as many game developers are, you're frequently using the same libraries and compilers you'd need to get your game working on desktop Linux.
Especially when it comes to things like graphics libraries and game engines, stuff like OpenGL, SDL or even higher level engines like Unity are quite popular on both platforms. While you could say this is just due to having cross platform libraries, but the platform specific steps for them (compiling, linking, initialization) are definitely more consistent across Android and Linux than going to Windows for example.
