For the beginners, Ubuntu (or any Ubuntu based) distro is good beginning. However, I prefer you should begin with Fedora, and then as soon you get hold of it, you might like to switch to openSUSE. By now you would be well versed with Linux based distros, and if you're really keen to understand Linux deeply, ArchLinux is one great distro. Gentoo too.
It doesn't really matter which distro you're going to use for development, it's more about taste. You'll know which desktop environment you like as you start exploring different Linux based distros.
My vote : openSUSE, Fedora or ArchLinux.

That totally depends on what your interest is. Seems that you're interested in Embedded systems, so just grab Beaglebone Black or Raspberry Pi, boot any linux based distro in it & start exploring it.

There is an online course going on by LinuxFoundation in edX. You can learn all the basics of Linux to lil bit of bash scripting there.
Google : "edX + Linux course"

We have uploaded plenty of resources on Linux in "Downloads" section of CE. You may like to refer it.

U need to install the gcc Compiler in Fedora. Use this command

yum install gcc

That should install the compiler and lets you play with it

Open terminal & type
```
su -c "yum install gcc"
```
Press 'Enter'. It will ask for password, submit the password & press 'Enter' again.

Or you can simply type
```
su -
```
to enter superuser mode.
