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.

That's one advantage. The big advantage is that most enterprise web sites and webservices run either on a rented Linux server or on a Linux instance that's "serverless" (meaning it can run processes and access databases, but can't save stuff permanently to the filesystem). If you have familiarity with Linux, then that lends itself well to the work of troubleshooting the complications that come with that setup.
It's just easier to get going with programming stuff on linux (other than .net)
Need python? Ruby? docker? A different compiler or a specific library? They're just an apt-get install away. It just feels more natural and integrated.
Windows has always been an odd duck for programming on.
