Excel is basically a bunch of CLIs.
:'(
Also GIMP skills, not to be mistaken with gimp skills (tho there is some overlap in users).

"Linux will never supplant windows" naysayers in shambles.
Gimp = green is my pepper
Hey don't bash Excel, it can run Linux too, although heavily stripped Risc-V version.
Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead

On the other hand, the CLIt is something he'll never get to master.
“…you have the audacity to come to me for help?
Sure! Linux isn’t nearly as difficult to use as people think. There’s a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but you’d face that if you switched to Mac, too. Here’s a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if it’s just too different from what you’re used to, it won’t have made any changes. Have fun!”
Word!
The Windows shit-train is not, in & of itself, gonna get a significant percentage of users migrating away from suckling corporate teat.
Marketing Foss solutions to problems is something I Revere about people in the communities. Just Wish we could be a little better at helping more people make the shift.
Heal the computing planet! Deprecate the Corporate OS blight!

I've switched to Debian GNU/Linux, because I figured out it's easier to manage than modern Windows anyways.
I've ended up taking notes on personal MediaWiki instance on various Unix/GNU commands, and various other stuff.
Also ended up finding 7 bugs (for now) mostly in APT/Aptitude and their documentation (didn't report them yet).
Don't mind me, I am just a self-diagnosed autist (lmao).
