Actually, the joke was that experts assume normies would know BSDs and Linux. The fact of it is, most normies don't know any OS. My point was that whomever edited the comic was actually overestimating the average person's knowledge. They assumed normies know any OS, even the ones most folks use daily (Android or iOS).
The joke is that experts overestimate the normies, which they do, so it tracks. It's literally spelt out on the comic. |

They're not that bad they know the word andriod.
I still get asked for a Samsung charger, even though I am willing to bet that all of my coworkers phones are USB C. |

Correct. That is the joke. In the comic. I'm saying that whomever modified this comic (which is about overestimating normies) overestimated the normies during the editing proccess, by skipping over Android and iOS (which implies that the editor assumed normies would know them). It's sort of a meta-joke. |

Computer scientists maybe. But real scientists know the meaning of the word average. And that out of, say, 1000 users, possibly only one is average. |
