But if not, it's probably just a matter of using this command:
sudo apt-get install python3
And the language works equally well on both platforms, so a windows/linux decision should probably be based on other factors.

If you have ubuntu installed on your machine by default it supposes to have python in it. However, you can check that by :
python ββversion
If it's not installed you can use :
sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.8
python ββversion
The last command will show you the python version installed on your computer. anyway if you had more issues here is the link to the site which has few ways to install the python on ubuntu.
