It doesn't if you're in the AR/VR or Video game space. It'll tend to be Windows centric. Server side stuff might be Linux but as you've alluded the client development will target Windows (e.g. HoloLens SDK requires Windows/MS Studio).

Only suggestion I'd make is learn to use the Command-Line with your tools (where possible) and practise writing scripts to optimise your workflow. If you do that it'll make the transition to a NIX a little less foreign.
