There are way more viruses written for windows than there is for Linux
Linux users find viruses and they report them and then everyone works on a fix for it and it gets patched as soon as possible. This is why open sourced code is good.
Windows takes forever to fix or patch viruses most of the time they probably dont even care.
Everything virus related or even bug related gets patched almost immediately under Linux
Also… Everything you install on Linux is pre compiled and ore configured inside a package manager and these packages get checked constantly for bugs and viruses. Theres almost no need to install anything on Linux from websites that could be compromised
Out of the 13 years I have been using Linux I haven’t Once caught a virus but I also study malware and write malware so I also understand it more on a deep level.
But honestly it’s very hard to catch a virus on Linux
