There are no wild viruses for linux. Hackers LOVE to capture Linux
machines because they tend to be better computer systems and have
faster connections. There are however other ways to get hacked with
linux so watch out!

This is plane false. You can get payed support for most major Distros of linux.

Got examples for that one? I have been using MS Word and Open Office
and have yet to use 99% of ether with my personal use or my small
business use. I could really just use MS notepad or Kate 90% of the
time. I have no idea what most people use in MS Word that Open Office
can't do. Same goes for Photoshop VS Gimp. I am a 3d artist and still
don't use most of the functions of ether program. I LOVE blender 3d
and as far as I know, MS has nothing close and for sure nothing free.
