So I'm tired of Windows, making the jump to Ubuntu. What are the things I should first learn about Linux?

Most of the shit you'll need to do will be tenfold more difficult, less efficient and you'll probably need to google a ton of problems you run into just to get it done. Other than that, it's pretty based.

Oh look, I rustled the jimmies of a *nix sperg. Come back when you're not memeposting image macros from five years ago when it stopped being funny.

I would say try it before you buy it.

A good linux user plays for the team and not the other way around, you won't be able to use Linux the right way messi.

Don't give up on it. Lots of people try linux for a day or 2, decide it's too complicated, and go back to windows, but if you stick with it, you're going to have an amazing experience.

Learning a real OS and how to use a computer to its potential takes some time OP. Give yourself time to learn all the things you need to know. Find tutorials on how to configure various devices, command line utilities, compilers, editors, etc. If you just want to do the typical computer user things like e-mail and browsing, then Linux works just like Windows. If you want to become a developer, then you probably should get to work and learn how to use a real system.

Learn how to install your video drivers, assuming you have NVIDIA. If you have Intel I think your drivers are automatic. If you have AMD you're just fucked.
Learn how to use the website 'alternative.to' to find Linux applications similar to the Windows ones you're familiar with.
Learn to use the Ubuntu software center app (super easy, but essential unless you want to jump straight to apt at the command line).
There is a learning curve becasue you didn't learn to use it in grade school.

If you spend more than 5 minutes trying to figure out how to do something, create a phony email address and email the Ubuntu mailing list and rail on and on about how much better Windows is and how you're going to switch back because you can't figure out what you were trying to figure out.
Within minutes you will have hundreds of linux neckbeards at your disposal because they can't stand being worse than Windows.
