My previous job was pure Linux desktops across the dev space. Managers et al., love their Macs (and a few Windows). Current gig is def more of a Windows shop traditionally, but with cloud movement most of us are either in Linux directly or OS X. 

As far as the general public, it's "cool" to use Mac, many offices and the like are on Windows (AD, Exchange, blah blah just takes the cake here), all their services are probably running Linux for the most part, while their phones are Android (Linux) or iPhone (still has a huge BSD base), and their hardware appliances often BSD based. ...but most have zero idea about any of it.

I know quite a few people that have zero understanding of any of this also running Linux desktops. Because again a) they don't know the difference, and b) it just works for what they want -- web browsing, email, and viewing documents.
