Interesting that there seems to be a shift toward Linux, if a slow one.

Within my experiment (which has a few thousand collaborators) every paper is written in LaTeX and has to build in a linux environment to be submitted for publication. All the central software work is done in one of three ways:

- ssh to a cluster running linux, develop there

- work in a linux VM on your machine (usually docker, lima, or other container management products)

- with a linux laptop or desktop

Of course the engineers and hardware developers are often using a whole Windows-dependent stack of FPGA design software, LabView, etc.
