Pixinsight works on Linux and I know there was some talk about developing a image capture section for it.
There is no reason not to use Linux, as you can always use a VM to control the scope and do image acquisition. Possibly with the right tools you could perhaps even use a windows VM to just host a ASCOM hub and communicate to that from the Linux host.

I use Windows predominately but have toyed with Linux, there are pros and cons for both. Have not really used MacOS much. For me one OS is much the same as another, and all have there pros and cons. Windows tends to have the upper hand as most business applications have been written for it and hence people use it at work and then just want to use the same at home.
