I wanted to avoid DOS because the CLI knowledge earned there is not as transferable to a Unix system (which would be more practically useful in the future), but you're right in that it comes with some benefits too.

It's a fair argument. The reason I chose DOS is mostly for the games. I can definitely teach him to launch DOSBOX from Linux though, so that would give him a bit of exposure to Linux CLI.
