If anything, using a non-windows OS teaches you about being able to even "navigate" a command-line, or understand basic concepts such as file-paths. Such as "../" or relative vs absolute paths, what "/" means, etc. I'm amazed at how often such things are missed and never understood, even by individuals who are in the "maintenance" side of IT and have bazillions of "certs" for everything from networking to administration.

"Windows greybeards" who originally came from DOS also know the whole thing about navigation etc. I admit that for a long time (before Powershell was introduced) the default shells of GNU/Linux were far better than cmd.exe of Windows NT (not even to speak of command.com of Windows 9x). Whether with Powershell this is still the case or not is yours to decide.
