All jokes aside, using Linux really does bring some peace of mind when it comes to malware.

While Linux malware certainly exists, it's nowhere near as prevalent as Windows one, so that's one less headache to give serious consideration to.

once linux is more common, that will change for the worse

At that point BSD will take the place of linux I guess.

And Plan9 will take the place of BSD, and TempleOS will take the place of Plan9?

Plan9 is probably really secure due to its obscurity. Any malware that targets Linux, Unix Windows, or Mac would do absolutely jack shit to Plan9 because it's so much different.
