Is this true? I thought it was because Linux is generally safer due to better admin/user system, package managers with trusted sources, free/open software and the generally more tech-savvy userbase. Similiar reasoning for Mac, I guess minus the open software, but they have the apple store with trusted programs

It has nothing to do with market share, it's becasue Windows doesn't have any means for authenticating packages, it just runs the .exe so it get's easier to run and spread malware, plus WinXP is still a thing.

It may be a misconception but it's not common; Macs are outsold by proper computers 20:1
