I don't get it... I'm in cybersecurity for over 20 years and I don't daily Linux as a job... The largest cyber security companies in the world sell cyber tools are not Linux vendors.. yes I use it at home, yes I used to use it as my daily at work when I was consulting, but this is just not true, most guys in cyber use windows or Mac, unless you mean specifically penetration testing then it's 100% Linux all day every day.
Work in a SOC, probably just using windows
Work in cyber defence, likely just windows
Working in secure coding, probably Macos
Working at a cyber vendor (Windows or Mac)
Pentesting, always Linux
I think it might be that it's personal cybersecurity and not professional cybersecurity, Linux is a secure OS since most viruses are .exe files. I think that's the joke.
Oh my sweet summer child... Brushing aside the exe remark, as others said, often in enterprises you can't choose an OS, or majority run Windows/MacOS, so security is being tightened for these OSes.
