I jumped into Linux before I was even close to ready. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
When I started college most kids where showing up with brand new MBPs, Surface laptops, or even gaming laptops, while I was lugging around a 5+ year old, 15 inch brick that just ran SLOW.
Solution: kill 2 birds with one stone, and dual boot with Linux, specifically the latest Ubuntu. After a weekend of setting it up and working out some kinks I had my Linux install along with windows.
After about 1 semester of "playing around" in Linux I figured out how to do the basics, and committed to full time Linux as I found myself never in windows. Since then I've used Linux as my primary development environment and haven't looked back.
I still use Windows from time to time for other tasks, but Linux still is my main platform.
