The original image said windows where this would be accurate but I doubt it applies to the average linux user

I actually do. All the time. And I think you should too. Don't understand why people seem to think there's something wrong with that.

When you tell people to use Linux and they have any issues or something is unclear, they'll ask you every time. Not sure how many people I could support simultaneously.

If they do that, support them in fixing it themselves, instead of just fixing it for them. Give a person a fish, feed them for a day or something...

Well, I do. In fact I've installed Linux on 4 classmate's laptops, after insisting for some time.

People don't have any reason to recommend Windows because it's the regular OS everyone already uses.

Linux may be an improvement for a lot of people's use cases but a vast majority of them don't even know it exists and its not just for servers and stuff. Mac people probably do this too.

You don’t tell people that you use Arch in random conversations? /s
