Mint is FOSS and free of hardware restrictions, so if you don’t mind having to teach yourself how to fix the odd issue here and there, it’s probably the better option. That said, macOS is definitely a more seamless and full-featured experience (whether that matters to you is personal preference). I use it plenty at work, it’s pretty nice for the average user. Personally, I switched from Windows to Mint years ago, but now I’m on KDE Neon because I needed Wayland support and fell in love with KDE Plasma in the process. Mint/Cinnamon should be stable on Wayland within the next year or two though, so that’s cool.
OK seems like you knew what I was trying to say, do you have an answer to this question?
What are some advantages that Linux Mint and macOS have over each other?
