Speaking only for myself, at least as I have managed to experience things in such a limited way, often it takes three Linux programs to do the work of one DOS one. I joked on the Debian development list that to clap my hands In Linux I would need one program for the right, one for the left, and one to bring the hands together. and do not get me started on Linux command sequences, laughs. In fact, personally that is why objective third party learning materials books for example, would be helpful for new users in general. dos commands tend to do the same things, with universal files like autoexec.bat and config.sys doing the heavy lifting where loading and unloading drivers and the like are concerned. In Linux, you must know already, or learn with risks to your system how to do things. When I started using DOS, I trained for two days in person with someone and have built on that training for decades. Something comparative just does not exist for Linux in my view. And I would gladly pay for it, if it did.
