I agree with this recommendation, but Ubuntu is a PITA for a desktop IMO. Manjaro is much more stable, easier to setup and maintain and the default UI (XFCE) is simpler and very similar to Windows.
Ubuntu is good for a server. Using 2 different distros would be good to learn how not all Unixes/Linuxes are the same and how they might differ.
I would also add: Whatever programming language you learn, you're probably going to want to learn some auxiliary languages as well. Don't get stuck thinking you can do everything with one language. Learn JavaScript, SQL, HTML and CSS as well.
