I've been a Linux person by trade for some time now, but in a corporate environment, Windows/OSX reigns supreme. Whether it's the need to run bespoke software (various work-specific meeting or chat tools) or just everyday essentials like mail (Outlook on Windows/Mac is far more trivial than the alternatives), or even from the view of Enterprise using/requiring managed systems, Linux isn't great for use on desktop.
For me, I can't stand OSX, so I stick with Windows out of spite; but with the newer Windows insider builds with WSL2 (especially with the VScode integration), I can have my and Linux cake, and eat it :)
