Bro, if you want to raise adoption you gotta drop the "IAmVerySmart" tone. Be kind with people, encourage them to learn. There was a time you didn't know this either.
Instead of saying "haha you use apple" why not "Oh okay great, so if you used X on Apple you'll probably find Y on Linux to be very similar"
If OP is using an iPhone then Linux is probably not right for them. Just have to accept that you don't control your own devices when you're using those platforms.
Great, then you didn't have to say "Should have installed linux instead" because you admit that it may not be the right solution for everyone.
Uh huh and I posted that before op said he was using an iPhone smartypants
And there's your lesson about assuming things about people.
