On my college campus the reason why they know about Linux is because
the IT people have set up Ubuntu as the Linux of choice for the
training of new students. I have a friend who uses Ubuntu because he
was asked to install it by the university. He only knows how to use
the Terminal and text editors because that is what the university
requires as part of his program. He asked me about how to build a
music library with Banshee. He also asked me how to install programs
on Ubuntu, and although they have a really simple method, he did not
know how to do it.
So, part of the reason why people in my college use Linux (not
openSUSE) is because of program requirements and because the decision
was made before by the faculty. Student do not know the difference or
varieties of Linux Distributions out there because the choice was
already made for them.
I can come up with other examples, but that was the only one I have had so far.

I have two users I know very well and I tried to drive to openSUSE.
My elderly daughter is so happy with openSUSE that her avatar's name is linusienne.
My 90 years old mother was very happy with openSUSE (much more than with Windows), but I could never make openSUSE read all the "ppt" powerpoint files that are her most used file format, so I had to keep Vista on her computer...
