I did a little development on Ubuntu back before Rider existed and switched back to Windows because I prefer it but now with Rider I think for any .NET Core shop the development platform is more or less irrelevant.
Almost everyone in our team uses Rider (except me and a couple of other holdouts) and the general consensus seems to be that it is far superior to VS. We completed a long migration over to Core and now we have developers on Mac (not sure on Linux) and we don't have a hard requirement on OS.
As for general numbers/market I think it's still relatively niche as any glance at a more start-up focused jobs board indicates (though not niche overall, just tends to be enterprises where dark matter developers are employed).
I hope one day people will realise what a fantastic ecosystem is available but for now they'll be bashing out messes in write-only languages and desperately carrying out microservices migrations to try and escape the pain when the project goes above 100LOC /s
