If it doesn’t feel like fun the kid probably won’t want to spend much time on it.
If you want to start with the CLI, you’ll need a way to make that seem fun and engaging, with a path forward to make it even better. Without any prior knowledge or the internet, that isn’t something they will be able to do on their own. And managing files isn’t that interesting.
