OSX and iOS are derived from the CMU Mach kernel and the BSD runtime. Linux is not in there, although if they made it today Linux would probably be the choice.
I am the original author of Busybox.
In using Linux desktops since 1991, I have once had malware installed from outside on Wordpress on my public server. Only an update of Wordpress was necessary. No other viruses, and I don't use a firewall or any anti-virus software. That's one problem in 26 years.
Linux has fine GUIs that are easy for normal folks to use.
