My recommendation would be to install Ubuntu 18.04 on your laptop as the ONLY operating system for the summer. This will force you to use it and know it. Be sure to backup all of your data first. Better yet you should just get a second HDD and replace it.

Good luck,

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to learn to operate in Linux? What do I need to know in Linux to be able to participate in the Robotics Club?

This is something I want to learn how to do this summer. I see that GMU has a Lynda.com subscription. I thought about ACE Classes given by Fairfax County Public Schools: https://www.coursecatalog.com/onlinesearch/admin/course_display.aspx?courseid=2690&schoolid=604
