While Ubuntu is a great OS, it has no advantage at hacking over another OS like Windows, or even Mac OSX.

Wait.. what? Ubuntu has no advantages over windows in regards of hacking? That certainly depends on what you wish to accomplish. OP mentioned wifi-hacking, and you yourself gave a nod to airckrack-ng for that purpose. Afaik winblows won't put your network-card in monitor-mode just like that, it take some serious workaround - so if you wanna sniff for a handshake you'd do it in OSX or linux any day. They are different systems entirely, and while windows and even mac have their strong sides, (like windows having a lot of GUI-tools available for automated tasks) saying they're equally good seems.. lazy.

I also recommend you learn what the tools actually do, as in what commands are going through when you click a button. You should definitely research Shell commands too...
