Thought I might try Linux. Is Ubuntu the easiest and most stable to
start with?

Bit less stable than say Debian Stable.

Whiuch distro you use is *almost* irrelevant.

Any advice on pitfalls etc.

Just try and see. Use the OS you have to download and burn a lot of
distros, and simply install away.

The pitfalls are not distro specific, and are generally hardware
related. Some support for some hardware is patchy, tricky, or nonexistent.
