I read that, as this is a CPU hardware bug, it affects all OSes:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-lazy-fp-state-restore-vulnerability-affects-all-intel-core-cpus/

    According to Intel this new vulnerability affects all Intel Intel
    Core-based microprocessors and is a bug in the actual CPU, so it does
    not matter what operating system the user is running. It could be
    Windows, Linux, BSD, or any other operating running an an Intel
    Core-based CPU and using "Lazy FPU context switching".
