If someone needed to be told to know Linux is an alternative to Windows, they definitely can't do anything with a link showing 25 Linux distros with no guidance on how to choose and what the differences are between distros. That in itself shows that his comment had no actual point than to continue the Linux circlejerk amongst a community that you yourself claim is made by Linux enthusiast. I'm not sure why you're grasping at straws trying to defend a comment that reinforces a circlejerk. Do you want Lemmy to start acting like Reddit?

But if you think that this is a wider systemic problem which needs to be addressed, then make a meta post and complain to the mods about it. Because simply whinging about it here is not going to help anyone.

I don't agree this needs any mod action. It's not a widespread enough issue, nor is it a horrible enough to warrant forcefully removing it. People can make those comments, they just need to know the damage they are doing to Linux desktop adoption by perpetuating the circlejerk and putting people off the Linux community.
