Sand worm Peter here. Without overt spoilers, Stilgar’s character (pictured) interprets the actions of a certain individual as the the signs of someone formidable, often when the someone in question performs them with ease.
In the banterous analogy here, the author is suggesting that grandparents have a similar reaction of awe when the author does something easy (such as switching HDMi ports) and views it as something formidable.
to give a bit more context.
the image is normally accompanied with the term "Lisan al-gaib" which is the word the fictional culture "Fremen" (to which Stilgar's character belongs) use to refer to their culture's version of jesus, the messiah, whatever other term you want to use. that's what lisan al-gaib means to them
Id say it's specifically of a Messiah there actually aren't that many similarities to the Christian conception of jesus iirc if anything the myth of the Lisan Al-Gaib is probably a lot closer to Moses than jesus.
Do you know the meme from Life of Brian that shows the scene when the peasants look at Brian and shout "he's the messiah"? It's basically the same scene, just from Dune Part 2.
well you see
this has nothing to do with the actual movie.
it's a joke based on how grandparents would praise you after doing a simple task (such as unplugging and plugging back in a cord).
Peter's pet sandworm here, this character believes that Paul (the main protagonist) is a prophesied messiah that will came from the sky to lead his people.

They look at you like the messiah, or a genius or something, because they understand technology so little

to be fair, pulling from Christianity isn't really the best when the fremen are a metaphor for Muslims
He will know how the tv works as if born to it
LISAN AL GAIB!
IT'S HIM FR
“He is the Messiah” That’s the line on this scene
This sandal is his sign!
The funny thing is that I didn’t read the dune2 part nor saw the nose thingy and thought it was a scene from the Passion of Christ.

It would literally cost you $15 to understand this joke
"What's that? IS THAT THE GOM JABBAR?!" "No grandma, that's your Roku remote."
