Every day people, no. Mainly Youtubers.
Well... Youtubers (and other creatives) are the main awareness funnel for everyday people to hear about linux in the first place.
Creatives are typically stuck on windows because their workflow doesn't work on linux. And yes, they can change their workflow, but there's also a high time + effort cost to doing that which gets even higher for them since they still need to produce their works while switching.
