No, MacOS is derived from FreeBSD Unix.

Not really. It’s more Freebsd but the end result is the same. And they’re both Open Source.

I’ve used FreeBSD for years and am comfortable with it, but it’s not something the average microsoft user should start with.

Looked at Linux Mint the other day, went in easy and had more than I need.

Others who have used Linux more than I will weigh in on Linux versions.

If you’re really nervous grab a refurb desktop off Amazon, throw a hard drive in it, and experiment with it. I have four refurbs and have been satisfied with all of them. They’re still running after several years.
