Yes! Firstly, there are hardly any viruses for Linux. Secondly, though security gaps may occur as in Windows, these are always fixed very speedily, and the respective patches are made available on the Internet within a few hours or days. By means of its “YaST Online Update” (YOU), SUSE keeps you informed about the state of affairs and security.
