Linux can get maleware and a Google search of experts much more knowledgeable than I will confirm the risks but as you said Linux gives you the freedom to do it your way.
I never said Linux couldn't get malware and my intentions are not to argue with you. I am simply stating the facts that Linux is generally safe if you only download applications from the Ubuntu software center. On most occasions, it is the users fault for getting a virus. Always research the software you are looking to use before downloading it, it is simple as that. You could always use VirusTotal if the file is 128MB or under in size.
