Viruses and malware do effect linux servers. It’s not tough to do a search for CVEs on this stuff.
At my job we’ve got a red mark on an audit because of some dev’s pet Linux server was vulnerable to multiple critical CVEs. Thankfully it was isolated from the rest of our network due to being a dev’s pet project and not something we were officially supporting.
Linux may be more secure, but there’s no magic button for any OS to be perfectly protected against malware if you aren’t taking proper steps to protect it.
