Depends on who you define as "tech people" - lots of IT professionals absolutely switched long ago.

I am technical to a point (Building and running a farm of 3D printers, developing and running an e-commerce site, etc). But my time is valuable so while I tried to make a switch to Linux 15 years ago, it just wasn't "convenient" enough for my office/work productivity needs. Now that I've circled back around, I'm pretty pleased with the evolution I've seen.

Plus most of the open-source software I already use is obviously also available on Linux so the transition will be easier this time around.
