But the majority of HPC/GPU users do run Linux desktops

Source?

We have a multiple GPU compute nodes with Teslas for research. The vast majority of us uses Macs.

You'd be surprised. Try a HPC conference and check their laptops.

They do HPC on a laptop?

Obviously not. But neither would most want to do HPC on a computer they are also running a graphical desktop on either. In my experience, most serious academic computation happens on headless servers that are certainly not running Weyland or anything similar.

The argument I responded to was that "most HPC researchers/devs" use Linux on their laptops. Not that they do HPC on their Laptop.
