Will using Linux on my personal computer help me get better at it

Discussion

Hi everyone. Apologies if this isn’t where I’m meant to post this. I’ve started work in a computational science lab, we do simulation based work. We use Linux as everyone in our field does, and I was wondering how I could get better at it. I’ve installed Ubuntu on a crummy desktop and configured it on my own and such before, but I am a baby when it comes to the terminal. I feel as though I am knowledgeable for my work sometimes, and was wondering where the best place to learn how to use Linux is, and what I should do to learn it. I think most of my concern comes from using the terminal, but beyond that I also am a bit confused at general workflow like using wine and such. Any help is much appreciated.
