It's funny, but memes like this affect the opinion of people who haven't tried it.
They mistake some extreme minimal arch rice for the general Arch experience or the general Linux experience as well. If so many Lemmy users, who are statistically tech nerds, don't see through the meme, then the average person will definitely stay away from Linux.
The average person probably should stay away from Linux. In fact most of them should stay away from PCs in general.
They should stick to an iPad or something. That way I, the family tech nerd, will never be bothered by them a week after they downloaded "hacked Spotify" or some shit, that is now emailing scams to everybody in the continental United States. Most people just need a browser.
It would be convenient in short term. But, once the vast majority of people starts to live in the walled gardens, it would be very difficult to buy a "normal" computing device.
