Try to get comfortable with using the command line. Most utilities have graphical interfaces, but the terminal is still important.
If you have workflows from Windows or Mac, try to adapt them to Linux. Sometimes you'll have to find alternative applications or change your approach entirely.
Experiment with different desktop environments. If GNOME (default for Ubuntu) is too alien, try KDE Plasma, XFCE, or Cinnamon. You can install multiple desktop environments and choose which one is launched on the login screen.
Set up system backups using Timeshift, and don't be afraid to break the system.
Ignore the people who criticise your chosen distro. Giving Ubuntu a chance is way better than not trying at all.
