Nope. Any operating system(mac, Linux, etc.) can get a virus but just like any other program, the virus has to be made to target that operating system.

Since windows is the most popular OS for desktop use, the majority of viruses target it, and thus windows users are at greater risk of getting a virus, but a mac user or a Linux user can get a virus as well if they're not careful.

If a virus writer knows that the chances of successfully attacking a windows systems are better, then they will try to target the virus to that system. A windows virus generally will not affect a different operating system.
