Numbers are not available, for sure.
As David pointed out you'll have less Linux users than you might expect.
But you'll have substantially more Linux users than when asking 
Finale/Sibelius/Dorico users ...

As some have mentioned the use of LaTeX with LilyPond can be found. 
Maybe you'll find this interesting: http://lilypondblog.org/?s=latex

Searching the blog for linux does give a few results, but I don't think 
anything specific is in these posts.

Another aspect is version control which seems to be biased towards Linux 
users: http://lilypondblog.org/tag/version-control/

In an earlier life I was involved in improvised electronic music using 
PureData and synthesizers. If I hadn't given that up completely I'd 
surely be using SuperCollider by now and would probably be using 
programming languages to generate PureData patches (or anything similar) 
and also generating scores from that environment using LilyPond and LaTeX.
