No, that's fully believable.  It's a fairly specialized knowledge set,
which a Computer Science student may not possess.

What's more worrying is the vagueness of the help request.  You'd think
such a student would provide at least a modicum of detail, like which
model computer they're using, which version of Debian they tried to
download (and install??) and what the error message said.
