If you keep up with updates you shouldn't have much worry. But there are
plenty who would/will try to get into a Linux box. They look for open
services that may have an unpatched vulnerability. It happens on Linux,
too! The difference with Linux is that usually nobody hides it, and the
fix gets out quicker. None of that will help you if you don't update
your system.
