Default Why does Ubuntu show 1GB more storage space than Android has?

Why does Ubuntu 13.10 show 1GB more free space than Android 4.4.2?

The phone was left with about 10.72GB of available space:
...
However, when I plug in that 12.5GB Nexus 5 into Linux,
Ubuntu Saucy Salamander shows "free space" of about 11.5GB,
which is actually 1GB too high as compared to what Android
4.4.2 shows. ...


Could just be the difference between GB as (1024)^3 bytes and as (1000)^3
bytes -- takes only about 9.3 of the former GB to match 10 of the latter,
or 10.7 of the former to match 11.5 of the latter. Think that could be it?
