If anyone wants learn about basic geek topics (how to use the command line, learn about Linux/Unix, or write simple scripts or programs), what are your goals and motivations? What do you want to achieve by learning these skills and concepts?

I can think of many possibilities, but am curious if specific areas are in demand.

I think everyone should want to learn this if they only knew where it would lead to and how it could change their life.I'd like to learn but I'm held back by my own ignorance

Write scripts to automate workflows, understand how a computer works just out of interest, understand script's written by others and verify yourself, customize scripts, some system configurations also maybe not possible in the ui. In general I think learning increases your independence and freedom.
