I know those. I had a friend that wanted to use Linux, but refused to 
use the CLI at all, so he could not use it because there was always some 
admin task that needed the CLI.

And now openSUSE dropped YaST, so it is even worse.

I was a Windows guy, but I was born before MsDOS. The Linux CLI was 
home, with some key differences. Most important one, the *.* thing, and 
bash expanding it before calling a program.

LOL. Don't say that while I'm having my morning tea, I almost ruined

They don't know what a directory or folder is.

I'm probably also a bit in the spectrum (doctor says no, but I don't 
believe her :-D ). I prefer vertical conversation to phone, actually. So 
to make an appointment with some people I walk or grab the car.

Consider a 12v UPS for router and phone.
