Bad advice

Linux or MacOS for that matter don't have the share to be attacked in this manner.

Second, having a person or persons jump ship, carrying over their bad habits, only for the malware authors to follow will only mitigate the problem for a short bit, then Mac and Linux would see the same things happening there as well.

Despite what the "advocates" say, each OS has their share of vulnerabilities, and with each new revision, more will pop up. Despite the arrogance of most Mac users, and the "many eyes" theory of Linux users, I can guarantee there remain unseen and unpatched vulnerabilities in those camps.
