I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If they want to use it that's fine. I'm just cautioning against using a command line tool like that until they feel somewhat comfortable with the terminal.
The terminal is not some arcane source of dark power to be feared. It's one of the defining characteristics of the Linux ecosystem. Anybody looking to use Linux should be expecting to use it and tools that are built for it.
It's not like they could even really do any damage with docker either.
