For software engineering jobs, Linux is often available as a VM or a server, but the actual laptop issued to you is likely Windows or Mac. Mac is probably the standard for startups but not necessarily the case elsewhere. Where I work, the default is Windows, and you need special requests to get a MacBook.
Finance IT is the same. Windows everywhere. Occasionally there is a second-class-citizen Linux VM thrown in to tick the we-support-desktop-Linux checkbox.
