If this data comes from Lunduke's audience, then it's probably not very representative of computer users in general, since people who listen to podcasts about GNU/Linux are going to be particularly likely to identify with it relative to all GNU/Linux users.
Nevertheless, this finding still seems obviously true, and the reasons are numerous and obvious:
- GNU/Linux users are most likely to know what an operating system is, which one they use, and how it's different from their brand of computer.
- They're more likely to have chosen and installed their OS themselves.
- They're more likely to have invested time into getting their system and making it work.
- They're more likely to have an ideological reason for using their OS.
- They're more likely to see their OS as differentiating them from the majority, since there are fewer of them.
- They're more likely to know about and be affected differences between operating systems.
