It might reduce attacks but no operating system is bulletproof and attackers devote more resources to the operating system with more market share. If all infrastructure running on windows changed to linux, then linux would be the new target.
Linux has an over 90% market share on critical infrastructure like servers and cloud resources which I would consider prime targets for ransomware. Who cares about an infected workstation, reinstall and move on.
