Going back to where? Are you talking about users who first used Apple or

Yes, Linux is still only 1-2% of global pc users.<br>
It should be expected that most new Linux users come from other
OSes.<br>

I believe this too. Each OS works in different ways.<br>

It's about new linux users are having a very hard time getting new

I still have issues with mailing lists...<br>
I never liked them, and don't believe I ever will.<br>
<br>
I might be wrong on this, but I believe most "non-techie" users have
never used mailing lists (or even IRC).<br>
It was surely a surprise to me at first.<br>
