I wish to prove that $$dim E= +infty Longleftrightarrow forall ;ngeq 1,;exists ;u_1,u_2,cdots,u_n; textsuch that; u_1,u_2,cdots,u_n ;;text is linearly independent.$$This looks completely new to me, so I would love if someone could give me an elaborate answer or provide a reference.
Thanks!

What's the purpose of $f$ in this question? Also, this question would be greatly improved if you include some of your own thoughts and context: What is your definition of dimension, and of infinite dimension? The problem statement is an if and only if: Can you see any links between the incomplete basis theorem or definition of dimension and either direction of the question?

Note first, that your statement misses something to be technically fine. Although probably implied, the statement should constraint the $u_i$ to be pairwise distinct as otherwise, you may take them all to be a single vector all the time, i.e. being always linearly independent if it is not the null vector. Considering this adjustment:
For right to left: Suppose that $mathrmdim(E)<+infty$, i.e. $mathrmdim(E)=m$ f.s. $minmathbbN$. Then For all $n>m$, any set $u_1,dots,u_n$ for pairwise distinct $u_i$ is linearly dependent. (check this yourself, with what does it contradict if there exists a linearly independent one?)
For left to right: Suppose that $mathrmdim(E)=+infty$. Suppose that there exists a $ngeq 1$ such that for all sets $U=u_1,dots,u_n$ for pairwise distinct $u_i$ we have linear dependence. Then, any extension of any such $U$, i.e. $UcupW$ for any $W$ is linearly dependent as well (can you see why? this even holds for $W$ infinite)
Now, as $E$ is infinite dimensional, we have a basis $B=b_imid iin I$ with $I$ infinite where the $b_i$ are linearly independent and span $E$. But now, as $B$ is infinite, $B$ contains an $n$-element subset of pairwise distinct vectors. (just pick $n$ different ones) But by our assumptions, this subset is linearly dependent and thus $B$ as an extension has to be linearly dependent either. Contradiction
