I'm already inclined to believe that such questions are raised here artificially)
And yet I want to answer. I suppose that learning has three components: interest (driving force), theory (base), practice (reinforcement). What I think about this:
Interest: choose what you like and what will motivate you. Though Arch with Ghent. Though Slakvar. Though LFS. Motivation is very important. To hell with that one-cent axle is like an "enterprise." With the same success "enterprise" and Suse, and Debian, and you never know what else. If you don't like the choice, everything will be sad.
Theory: among the mass of books, take the one that you like in style and content and look at which distribution kit the author practiced. If not a book, then a video course, online training, and so on. The idea with a friend is also a very good one. This doesn't conflict much with the previous paragraph, since Linux is Linux. It is quite possible to have two systems at once - a favorite host and a "book" vm: including profit - you can immediately see the differences.
Practice: I won’t say particularly smart, but sometimes it’s even more useful to move not from theory to practice, but vice versa. You do something specific, then you go and read what I copy-pasted.
IMHO those who write about Debian/Ubuntu on the Web are often more clear and verbose than CentOS/RH experts.

Choose the one that is used by the closest acquaintance of the Guru.
Of the features, I only encountered the fact that there are more ppa packages under Ubuntu, that is, the software versions are fresher. About the choice between Debian / Ubuntu or RedHat - I personally like the APT package manager more than RPM, but this is IMHO.
In general, you need to be able to work with any distribution, and to study, install Gentoo on the local computer and Arch on the server, I rarely saw it in production, but skills are pumped over the fastest.

And study them. They are about the same. You can choose any of them to start.

Debian. (subjectively more stable than Ubuntu).

CentOS. As a rule, any VDS supplier has an enterprise distribution.

Any of them, the main thing is to work THROUGH THE CONSOLE.

Use CentOS, because it is used in industrial (VoIP and many other) applications.
Below they write options for the desktop, they offer Linux Mint, because it is desirable to work with Linux all the time.
One could agree, but what's the point of using CentOS solutions for enterprise, but something else for yourself? It makes no sense, CentOS is great for both desktop and production use.

Here is what you will study now, and you will use it and then "drown" for the selected distro, tk. will understand it, know like the back of your hand, you will be comfortable there like in slippers. I started with Ubuntu Server and used it for quite some time, but now I'm switching to Debian, because, IMHO, ubunta has deteriorated - as updates appear, various cool and not cool glitches appear, some things stop working. 18.04 so generally led me to bewilderment. IMHO, Debian is the most normal option. CentOS is also not bad, but you need to be able to prepare it and be prepared for the fact that fresh software (and indeed a lot of software) will only be in third-party repositories. Well, the drug addict default FS XFS also somehow does not have it. In general, Debian rules) Now I will be attacked by rpm-based fans =)

For learning, you do not need to be limited to one OS, but you need to put yourself in a framework that forces you to really use it.
If you continue to sit in Windows and pick Linux slowly in the virtual machine, the process will be delayed.
I would advise you to change the main OS to the same Ubuntu (or rather, the derivative that will go more), burn bridges and all that. And study the server settings by putting everything in a virtual machine according to the same list. It still has to work the same way.
Thus, you will be forced to get to know the system better (you need to work somehow) and at the same time you will not constantly bring it to problems that you yourself cannot solve without reinstalling.

CentOS
It is more "corporate" use. Not himself, of course, but RedHat.
And study it and it will come in handy in your work.
ubuntu and debian are the same.
But in fact, they are all one and the same, except for the very exotic.

mint - no options
It has been more popular than ubuntu for 3 years now.
And indecently simple, for a beginner it is better not to come up with.
