The significant majority of the film and animation industry uses Linux.

Linux RTX CUDA drivers are getting better, but really depends on the use-case. For a Flamenco render farm it makes sense for sure.

Creatives on wacom tablets and Adobe products etc. will exclude the Linux Desktop option. =3

Not just for the farm, the large majority of the movie and tv vfx and animation you see is done by artists using Linux workstations.

Not the artists I meet, they love their wacom tablets and pressure responsive painting programs... i.e. most of the other software is windows only.

I like Linux (use it everyday), but many CAD, Media, Animation, and Mocap application vendors simply don't publish ports outside Windows.

Most studios have proprietary workflows with custom software. =3
