How does the xz incident impacts the average user ?

It doesn’t.

Average person:

The malicious code was discovered within a day or two of upload iirc and presumably very few people were affected by this. There’s more to it but it’s technical and not directly relevant to your question.

For the average person it has no practical impact. For those involved with or interested in software supply chain security, it’s a big deal.
