    Linux-based OSes are less uniform than Windows. They could and probably will be targeted, but exploits won’t spread because of how many verities they are and how different and incompatible they can be. Some, for example, don’t even use the GNU utils and userland.

      That is mostly false. Most of the code that faces the network is the same. As is most of the background running code. Linux is still more secure.
