Pro tools (the real studio standard): Windows, Mac
Logic: Mac
Live: Windows, Mac
Nuendo: Windows, Mac
Sound Forge: Windows, Mac
Acid Pro: Windows
Reaper: Windows, Mac... Linux!
I can throw out names too. Bitwig, Cadence, Ardour, Zebra yabridge Pianoteq etc. Also entire distributions — MX, Elementary, Ubuntu, Mint, Solus etc.
Is it relevant? Maybe, depending on what you actually need.
Like I said, there's no shortage of tools on any OS. If you want those specific ones that you listed and you want to do it on Windows, you can.
The only thing I object to is saying it can't be done on another OS that you're obviously not familiar with.
I never said it can't be done, just like my mechanic could make a living working out of his yard without a garage, I just said that if you're serious about it long term you can't escape it, the real (pro) tools aren't on Linux, just like my mechanic had to buy a garage if he wanted to continue doing that long term and professionally.
