Would Linux be secure?

[Ken D]

I have a Dell computer. Its running Windows (I need for some things). I am considering setting it up as a dual boot system with both Windows and Linux. How secure is Linux running on the same hardware as Windows? Dell does firmware updates on a regular basis (The updates are automatic when windows shuts down. Unlike windows updates, no choice is given.) How secure is Linux running on the same hardware as Windows? Is modern firmware a security risk?
