I don't really think there's much to misinterpret.
We're getting off-topic, though. I don't think you need to switch to Linux to start developing software. If anything, learning both a new OS and how to write software at the same time will only make things harder.
First start doing what you wanted to do. Other things will happen as a by-product.
