FWIW - I are, when my brain is functioning, a long term Unix/Linux/Solaris/TMUX/Tru64 sysadmin/programmer/user/weenie(don't quote me on this!) type person, and I've not had much trouble with Mac.

Not at the moment, but in the future. Please check in when you can.
Welcome to the island. Your qualifications fit here perfectly.

The needs are rarely technical.
More as Cinisajoy writes, "where to find" things (features/options) on a Mac.
Easy ones, like:
"How to turn off the 'safe archive handling' thing"
The one that opens any compressed archive, checks it (mostly for absolute pathnames) and then repacks it with relative pathnames.
"How to find/open the 'terminal' application"
For when something is really easier to do from the command line.
= = = =
Access to the command line terminal on all of the major consumer operating systems is being hidden deeper and deeper in obscure locations of the GUI.
(Even in Linux.)
