What sold Linux for me was trying Ubuntu on an old dusty laptop that had been sitting in my closet for a few years. It installed fast and ran fast and I got a good feeling for it in less than an hour. If the default windowing system was slow back and awkard, I would never have had no idea there was another windowing system because I'd have had no motivation to learn more.
