What's the value prop for a studio to run something on Linux vs Mac / Windows?

This is interesting to me to hear as the trope for Linux is that it's not used for audio/video work (and couldn't find much online about real world professional usage without pulling up reviews of best video editor / etc sort of results).

Also, congratulations on the release - rewrites are a huge undertaking.

Linux is the main OS at quite a few 2D and 3D animation studios. (I suspect because the industry started out on SGI machines running Unix.)
