I think there is a real change in people’s mind . Windows is at it worst since forever. Just this month 2 people in my inner circle just ask me how can they Make the switch and which distro should they use for their needs. Those 2 were hardcore Windows fan and gamer.

I also had a friend ask how to install Linux or where to buy a computer that has it preinstalled. It's getting out there.
