From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Company policy and MS licensing agreements. Also while devs can work with any OS, most users are "used" to windows and windows based products. We are talking 30+ years at the job. So they just stay there.
Although its changing slowly. More and more apps are just web interfaces with makeup. Theres real talk that getting macs for certain departments. Its just one small step for linux at that point. And as people age out of the workforce, theres a push for newer tools...which dont require windows at all.
