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.

Your workplace probably doesn't want to spend millions (depending on size) teaching their employees how to use the terminal.
Users don't even know how they organize their files, the difference between sharepoint, teams or onedrive. Of course they can't use a terminal but they would never need to like users in windows don't handle updates, their IT do.
When basic tasks like changing the scaling, setting a default power profile, or a default audio device, or just installing software don't require use of the terminal, call me back.
Okay mr "I love Linux but clearly have not used it in 15 years"
In using it right now. And have been for several years. Don't know why you would assume otherwise.
