I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.
It's both.
I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

I use Linux because it plays games better.
We've come so far for there to be truth in that statement

Switched in 2002...because I wanted to fuck with web dev and IIS sucks donkey nads. LAMP stack good, IIS/ASP/MSSql bad.
One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.
I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.
When was it not mainstream? First there was computer then Linux.
