Linux Bitches
That's a bit like the old saying of "macs don't get viruses", these sorts of threats target Windows users because there are likely more of them that don't know any better - low hanging fruit.
I'm not saying we don't get viruses, I'm saying as long as you stick to the repos you prolly won't have any issues. Also yes we are smaller which is why viruses don't run on us they're all made for windows and macs. Linux has like 50 viruses or somthing ridiculus like that
