I think that has more to do with the ease-of-use of the current
distros versus how much work it took to just install the thing 10
years ago. I started using LiteStep because I was tired of the way
things looked in Windows. I had already tried and failed to install
several Linux distros, so I found it when looking for ways to
radically change the way my desktop worked. With the years my skills
have improved and the installation of a Linux system has grown easier,
and there was love in there, which outgrew my need to keep Windows
around.
