Nope, but when looking for an OS to switch to from Windows multiple sources mentioned that there have been viruses in the past. I honestly do not know much about how viruses work so I wanted to make sure that even if they did become extremely common on Mac as they are on Windows they would not become common on whatever OS I switched to.
