Yeah, that's a relatively easy issue to debug. It goes to show that it's really about where your familiarity level is.

Personally, my familiarity level is maybe 2 out of 10. Don't really know what I'm doing with Linux, only made the jump a few weeks ago. I've had to google some stuff but it's still much less hassle than windows. I just got bored of seeing all those 'switch to linux durr' comments so I gave it a try, turns out they were right.

Those comments really do get tedious. But there's no billion-dollar company pushing desktop Linux and buying podcast ads and whatnot, so ... there's really no other way to get the word out.
