Why is linux more secure than Windows?

Post Body
I'm considering making a second PC and using Linux at least for some time because it's free (and I kind of want to try it anyway), but I would have expected that it (open source distributions at least) would be less secure than windows, not more, since I would have expected that being open source would make them an easier target for those who wish to find and exploit security vulnerabilities.
I'm guessing that must be wrong seeing as it's considered as more secure, so why is that the case?

To be fair, it was barely caught. Only because some guy coincidentally running benchmarks didn't like a couple milliseconds lol.
