I’m primarily a windows user and am programming to create products. Since I don’t work a programmer job, my learning is unstructured. Is bash the main benefit of learning something like Ubuntu?

I have delayed making the switch because I have lot of things to learn (currently relearning math, testing out different deep learning architectures, and learning JavaScript (second language after Python)) and not sure if should prioritize learning it.

I still need to get better with GitHub which is something I clearly see the benefits of. Also need to get better with a text editor , using Visual Studio Code , mainly just for text completion in Python and JavaScript, so need to learn the additional benefits. Also want to test sublime text.

I see recommendations for vim, but I wonder if that will make me too twitchy and will start to type before thinking.

So due to the amount of things I am trying to learn, I have delayed learning Ubuntu.

I know Windows 10 now has built-in bash capabilities but I wonder if there are other benefits I am missing with Linux and worth learning.
