Actually, there's a LOT to be said about that!
In reality, about 80% of your "experience" will come from the 'Community' you're involved with...
There are 100's a Linux distributions! As an example, some distros are supported by turd-world governments, like Brazil or Estonia - so, if you're Brazillian or Estonian, that's the distro you'll want to use - and the list goes on.
The Ubuntu Community is flooded with n00bs, asking dumb questions - and getting dumb answers from other n00bs. If that's what floats your boat, go for it.
Then... when you get a little experience under your belt and know which direction you want to go, switch to a more appropriate distro.
