This isn't an easy question to answer, or probably even a meaningful 
one, especially because it's easy to be a Linux user without knowing it. 
E.g., most consumer WiFi routers run Linux. Android phones & tablets run 
Linux. Chromebooks run Linux. A lot of set-top boxes run Linux. That's 
several billion Linux users from those alone.

You'll have even more issues determining what it means to say a company 
use Linux.

Once you've figured out what you mean by a "Linux user", there are 
probably some estimates, of varying quality using various methodologies.
