That's the thing -- Linux/UNIX are systems, not "things to learn". You need to learn how to solve problems in it, not just "learn x" then "learn y" then "learn z". This is because they're sets of smaller tools to be used together, not a short list of big premade things.
So it's not so much "learn Linux" as much as "learn to solve problems using these tools together", as well as "learn to administrate Apache and MySQL and whatever other services are installed/running".
How long it takes to get a grip with that can depend, it's a very different model than Windows.
