And the world agrees with it
Linux is not user friendly -- even in the distributions that try to pull it off. Ubuntu and others make things better, but it has a LONG way to go.
Plus, those artists aren't using "Linux" are they? They're using Maya or some other application that is the same on Windows as it is in Linux. They know they have to start the computer and click an icon: they don't have to mantain the computer systems or deal with the Operating System at all.
As for the op, good luck. Don't start any bad habits: like not understanding how the internals work with C++ and C. It's easy to "learn" C++, it takes a long time to really know how to use the language and understand what makes good design decisions when using it.
