I've never claimed it was immune, but it's much more difficult for a variety of reasons. Windows, while now improved considerably, was essentially a security sieve. One significant cause was due to Micros~1 tying IE to the base operating system, to back up their claims in court that it couldn't be removed. This meant that a problem for IE became a problem for the OS. Also, Windows users have often had to run with admin rights, in order to use their computers. This gives malware full run of the system. On the other hand, Linux users rarely do, so any damage will be confined. There are several other reasons.
