People will disagree and downvote but objectively you are correct. Who makes the software for linux? Who maintains distributions? Who contributes to OSS? Who donates to OSS software? Who maintains distro wikis? And when these people do it they make it with whom in mind? The answer is simple, its power users who make it primarily with power users in mind. Thats why Linux has more maintainers, more contributors, and more software engineers, than professional software/UX designers (call it a bad thing but thats what it is)
I never said that it couldn’t be used by someone who isn’t a power user. In reality I think anyone can be a power user on Linux as it is fairly accessible and easy to learn. You don’t need to be some crazy wizard to use the command line.
Linux is meant for power users
Sure you can use it for just browsing the web but that’s not its strong point

linux enables powerusers, which also enables a foundation for everyday users, which enables a foundation for learning and education of those users.

This is the kinda BS that scares away new users. You’re objectively wrong, bud.
Linux makes it fairly easy to be a power user even if you aren’t super technical. Linux puts you in the drivers seat.

That’s entirely untrue.
That’s like saying Windows is meant for Visual Studio developers. You could use other IDEs but that’s not its strong point.
Cars are meant for race drivers.
Sure you can use them to just buy groceries but that’s not their strong point. /s
