VS is a full blown dedicated IDE for the .NET environment. I regularly use VS for my development work, occasionally switching to Code for stuff loke writing Powershell scripts or Yaml.

Reason I say install a linux distro is knowing the *nix shell has value in itself and Python is popular and has machine learning libraries such as pytorch available if you want to get into that.
you think having Linux would help me? I currently have an unraid setup, but maybe I should try to run Ubuntu on my desktop I'm trying to get started.
if it weren't for AI I probably couldn't keep my unraid setup going, just recently I tried to set up Firefly III, ind docker and it was a serious headache
I want to set up an AI on my server, but there's only a GTX 750 Ti in it, and it only has two gig of RAM. I think it's too small

I personally use Fedora because it the testing ground for what ends up in RedHat Enterprise which is what is used at my work so I like working in similar environments. Ubuntu may be easier to set up and maintain since it is so popular but I have never run it.
Install what ever linux and learn how to use the shell. Learn grep,cat,sed,awk,cut,etc as these can let you write scripts to parse data and awk is very sophisticated in itself. For example at work, I deal with various networking gear that I need to gather information from or make changes to and i write scripts using the commands mentioned above to do that for me.
For the AI part it depends what you are trying to do. If you are doing image generation you will need a good GPU, Nvidia being the best supported, with 8GB+ VRAM and 16GB+ system RAM at MINIMUM and you will be waiting a minute or couple minutes for results. Running LLM you can size them to your resources. Obviously, the larger the model the more system RAM it will require and having a quality GPU will generate responses quicker.
