No I would say a hot wallet on linux laptop is somewhat safer than a hot wallet on a windows or apple laptop and also safer than on a phone (android or iphone), but obviously a Lightning Network hot wallet on a phone is more portable and easier to use for paying for things when out and about. For any serious Bitcoin computing use Linux OS. For small amounts for mobile spending on LN an Android phone is probably safe enough.
