I taught intro programming twice this year. Having never taught a CS class at all (I am a math phd)... I would just like to point out that at least at "satellite state U", most students are not like you.
The class almost went off the rails the first time before I realized half the students didn't know what a text editor or shell was. I ended up writing a document at a slightly lower level than this "missing semester" course (though taking some inspiration from it).
If I teach the course again, I plan to do one week shell bootcamp with "get to know your system" exercises spread throughout.
