There are lotss of responses here advising Ubuntu to teach Linux skills. I'd like to put in a vote for Manjaro instead:

The automatic driver detection when you install it can be handy, the Arch repositories are easier to use and include the same software you would find on any other machine, and the Arch wiki still applies, allowing you to find information on any part of the system you have questions about.

In addition, I think Arch derivatives in general encourage a healthy reliance on the command-line, which is actually what you want to learn how to use.
