Of 418 participants at KVRAudio, OS percentages were broken down thusly:
46% Windows
27% MacOS
10% Linux
8% iOS (iPhone/iPad)
2% Android
6% Computerless hardware (ie Akai MPC)
1% Anything else (ie Atari St, Amiga, etc)
I would guess that a good portion of those responders rely on three or more of those choices, to fullfill all aspects of their music productions, and would find it limiting or difficult if any of the three were unavailable.
Maybe in a future poll, you could add 'keyboard workstations, as a category, as sold by Yamaha, Korg, Roland, and many others.
Another category might be 'How many use three or more of the above' on a regular basis?'
Lots of semantics regarding 'what is a computer', since so many devices have some type of OS grinding away under the hood.
Many are using some type of embedded linux.
From the above list, I would think an Android version of Guitarix and NeuralRack could be very popular on phones and tablets.
