I was already a coder long before I learned to use Linux. It was a steep learning curve to jump into Linux. I'd say it was worth learning absolutely, and now with 13 years experience with Linux it is my favorite OS to code in. But if you're just now learning to code, focus on that and use whatever OS you are already comfortable with. With that said, when I made the switch to Linux, I also decided to learn C. So I had two new things to learn and both had a steep learning curve, but C and Linux go hand in hand and are complementary skills. It was a lot of fun.
