A day on wikipedia doesn't get you "installed linux and is actively using it at work" level of knowledge. For cars, the better analogy would be "I can replace the transmission in my car". Everyone knows how "computers work". Not a lot of people know how to install a different OS.

Exactly, good analogy 👍.

Anyone who wants to install a different OS on a regular desktop is able to do it quite easily, if they can read instructions on a website and an hour or two. It's similar to swapping tires, which is not difficult but it's important to read up/get shown how to do it.

But maybe I overestimate the difficulty of replacing the transmission.
