Depends on what you're looking for, for some fields there are fantastic options already.

The others... Well considering the trajectory I'm seeing now (as a multiple decade Linux user), I think a lot more will start building for it. Maybe one flavor to start, but I do think it will be much more common.

I'm seeing it with some of my clients already.

    For me: Solidworks, TwinCAT (lol @ plc software built on top of windows....and it's one of the more open ones)

    Yeah the TwinCAT situation is absurd, pretty much like with SCADAs, wtf why would you use Windows when you need a reliable OS? Luckily Beckhoff is working on a BSD based TwinCAT IIRC, and on the SCADA side Ignition works on Linux
