The most incredible part of this is it isn’t even a Linux flaw. The key to this exploit is downloading shit software, an issue that exists universally on any operating system (especially Windows).

I’m assuming this meme wasn’t meant all too serious by the poster (but judging by the downvotes quite a few people took it seriously).
However, it’s not like Linux is magically immune to security vulnerabilities. It’d be foolish to think your system is invulnerable just because you’re using a Linux distribution.
Sadly, too many Linux users still believe there are no viruses on Linux.
You can blame Apples marketing.

with certain distros it is, now don’t expect that from all of them tho
How does Apple relate to this?
If you’re using Linux 3.10 in current year (not airgapped) it’s on you
