People were saying the exact same thing when I first started using Linux in 1999-ish

What is survivorship bias aka gambler's fallacy?

I'm not saying Linux is immune, just that people have said that, practically word-for-word, forever.

That's not it though. Linux doesn't have a problem with viruses, didn't have it before, doesn't have it now. Predicting that it's going to start right now 20 years in a row isn't a good idea refardless, and pointing it out is a right thing to do.
Which doesn't mean it couldn't really start one day.
