I would say your friends are essentially correct.


To put an extreme example, there is only so much an operating system can

do for security-unconscious users that will grant root permissions to an

unknown executable that promises adult content or the Linux port of

"Angry Birds."


Knowledgeable and determined attackers can only be fended-off with an

active security policy.


However, the Linux software distribution model based on well-maintained

centralized repositories will probably help in making casual infections

more difficult. If those repos are compromised, though...
