    While this is true, learning some kind of programming - shell scripting or BASIC in olden days - is a very useful endeavor.

    It’s very convenient for everyone to be able to automate their work.

    And it’s not particularly different from cooking something once in a while.

    Not required at all to use Linux, of course.

    Though for operating systems … People here for whatever reason downvote things they fear, but even OpenBSD is simple enough. It does require using shell, but as compared to any other desktop OS I touched that’s just really negligible and is usually a copy-paste from FAQ.
