They also make the tired old claim that it's immune to Windows viruses. Well yeah it's immune to the windows versions of those viruses but there are plenty viruses for Linux and obviously Mac as well.
I get quite annoyed about this claim everyone seems to make where they claim that because you run and non-windows OS you're suddenly immune to viruses.
I think the photo is quite old though so it was a little more true back then maybe. But it's definitely not a statement I would make today.
