I suppose you could still make your wallet.dat as insecure in Linux as it is in Windows. You could:
At which point, your Linux box will be almost as insecure as a Windows box and your wallet.dat vulnerable. However, to truly replicate the insecurity you need to run Internet Explorer under Wine running with root privileges and surf the Internet for a while. That would just about do it.

- Chmod 777 wallet.dat so that it is world writable.
- Share it over an insecure NFS or SMB share.
- Not use a firewall and park your Linux box inside your Network DMZ while running OpenSSH server.
- Pretend RAID is a backup solution.
- Never back up wallet.dat to a removable device.
- Have a weak root password that is either (1) a dictionary word, or a (2) a dictionary word plus some numbers so that you're vulnerable to a dictionary and rainbow-table attack.
- And of course, you could always run every application as root, including applications that are vulnerable to scripting attacks such as IRC.
- Disable SELinux/AppArmor.
