Someone who bills himself as a 'computer guru' and who reconditions laptops and sells them, recently told me that Linux was the way to go, as it was (in his words) impervious to hacking and malware. Hmmm... maybe he's full of it too.
Linux is secure in a different way, but security is not the same as being impervious to hacking.
It's like when the people say that Apple devices can't get malware because "iT's SanDboXed" but that's not the whole story either, and it is still vulnerable to several different avenues of attack like spyware.
