No it didn't. Most new Linux users are still going with distros like Mint or Bazzite.

Yet, the majority of influencer videos about linux during that period praised only CachyOS, and I bet most of them reverted back to windows when they got enough of their Matrix roleplay with the terminal.

So no proof, just personal biases then.
