Well, we obviously have different friends.  I've got lots of technical
friends (and my father) that don't spend all day working on computers,
just using them (telecom engineers, rocket scientists, etc.).  A number
of them have asked me about Linux over the years, and I've helped them
get started and help with occasional problems.

As for "since 0.99": I remember when a friend told me about this post he
saw in the Minix newsgroup.  Unfortunately, I didn't have a 386 at the
time. :)

I worked with developers where we were developing for Unix and they wanted to uses PC's running Windows and not
FreeBSD or Linux, go figure. I would think your friends would be able to handle disabling secure boot to load fedora.
