I'm assuming this meme wasn't meant all too serious by the poster (but judging by the downvotes quite a few people took it seriously).

However, it's not like Linux is magically immune to security vulnerabilities. It'd be foolish to think your system is invulnerable just because you're using a Linux distribution.

Sadly, too many Linux users still believe there are no viruses on Linux.

You can blame Apples marketing.

There's also a large number of Linux users that act like it's infinitely easy and complication free.
