Maybe it's very style specific. In the prog/breaks/house style of
electronic dance stuff i've seen about 50 people perform with a
computer and so far about 49 are mac. I have however seen 1 Linux
machine, in the early days of Final Scratch by stanton, when it was
only for linux. This isn't counting Linux conf or me ;) I've seen
performances in other styles using Windoze machines, and it's been a
while since i've seen many computer performances.

Also, how many
professional musicians use PC hardware in performance?
The only ones I've been close enough to see on stage (Al Dimeola, for
instance) use Mac.
Based upon your statements, I'd say your exposure to on-stage performances
with computers has been rather limited.
Best wishes,
