FOSS evangelism is necessary to some extent and should not be too prolonged.

The "major" problem is still the installation part if you see it from a Windows User perspective. Last week one of my friend paid 500rs to a "technician" to get Linux installed on his machine. I was shocked!! And guess what, the installation did not work!! I fixed the issue when he told me about it(ofcourse, free of cost). My point is, people already on Linux will not find this issue worth discussing. "Linux" the word itself still scares away so many students, forget about installation. One common perception is: "Humein Linux Install karna nahi aata"(We don't know how to install Linux). Problem lies in attitude of students, especially so called "engineering students". Just my thought.
