If (you are not troll) then:
Hackers attack anything and everything. If security were the only
consideration then you would not connect your box to a network. If
you require a network connection then you are vulnerable. Minimizing
vulnerability is more to do with proper admin than choice of OS.
Start by reading replies to the bazillion or so other people who
