<div>I dunno about that. Maybe Linux just got good
enough that a whole lot of tech support isn't needed.
My brother now runs linux on his machines, and while
he is a power user he has no skill or interest in
actually programming. He just finds Ubuntu easier and
more secure than the alternatives<br>

I have noticed more people asking for help since newer machines
started using UEFI, but honestly after things are installed they are
generally good to go. Linux as a whole has come so far in the last
several years with their GUI that new users have few issues related
to useability.<br>

LUGs in general have been on a decline for awhile. I even think it
was topic on a podcast I listened to recently.<br>
