Right now, only the backend software is available for Ubuntu (ArcServer, ArcSDK). This is because many enterprise-level companies run Ubuntu, SUSE, or other Linux servers and Windows workstations. However, ArcGIS is not the only fish in the sea. Using free and open-source software, you can do almost everything that ArcGIS can, and a number of things that it can't. If you already know how to use ArcMap, the learning curve going to QGIS or others is a lot less steep than you might expect.
I personally use an open source software stack on Ubuntu for a lot of my work. Once I have time to learn the Python syntax for QGIS (PyQGIS), I may leave ArcMap behind.
