Are all the commands we learn now suitable for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows?

I'm still using Windows but trying to learn the commands for Linux as I will probably make the switch in the future - till then I'll just use Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. I suppose everything I learn now will be useful when I make the switch to Linux? Thx.

The Ubuntu platform is a linux subsystem, so you are already effectively "running linux" at least from the point of view of the command interface. So yes, most of the commands will operate the same on any other linux implementation.
