Anecdotally, over the last 15 or so years I've been a professional programmer the number of fellow devs I've seen using Linux as the primary OS of choice on their dev machines has gone down considerably. Most are on macOS now, and I'd say even Windows has greater usage than Linux in recent years. Docker I think is the primary reason for the switch. You can develop anywhere and be reasonably certain that your application will work the same on a Linux server. I'm not sure if there even is a target market for Desktop linux anymore.
