It depends which part of the industry and which departments you’re talking about. Animation and visual effects for large studios are all Linux based usually. Smaller studios vary between Mac and windows. Edit houses tend to be primarily Mac based. There’s very little that competes with macOS and Apple hardware though. Take color accuracy and EDR. Linux and windows aren’t great for extended dynamic range while working, and especially if you’re using a laptop for mobile reviewing, very few laptops support the accurate display space most macs ship with. Macs also provide a lot more software compatibility than Linux for things like the Adobe suite of products. Combine that with out of the box support for many codecs, accelerated ProRes workflows and the ubiquity of airplay+airdrop, macs are very favoured for creative use cases.
