Honestly, the biggest problem I’ve experienced is that once your colleagues see the CLI on your screen, you are no longer eligible to hold opinions on computers, systems or solutions.
…in the sense that I’m the odd one out - everybody else just uses Outlook, Word and PowerPoint. So whenever I have an opinion about how things should be, they just roll their eyes and go “well, of course you would say that!”
Change shop, my man. My work desktop consists of a tiling wm, usually has one or two instances of my favourite IDE running, of course has various shells open and the only time I’ve got LibreOffice Writer open is when I’m crafting a report for a customer. Although a few of our young developers are currently building a tool chain that would make some sort of enhanced markdown the default format for human readable stuff and that would fit a lot better into our “a project is managed in gitlab” workflow.
I am not a developer, mind you, I am just creating architectural concepts and I implement them. How do you even do that without automation, automated testing, redeployability and all of that? Hell, even when a project requires talking to bare metal, the first thing I’ll think about is “how do we get out virtualization layer onto that automatically within the constraints of the customer’s network?”.

That sounds backwards to me lol
Sounds like a win/win if they no longer come to you for troubleshooting
