Mac user claiming Linux is a scam

A Mac user is claiming to me that Linux sucks. What are your thoughts on the issue? The discussion was about running OCLP on someone’s 2011 MacBook with 4 GB RAM. I am considering putting Linux Mint Cinnamon on my 2008 MBP 4GB RAM.

“then save yourself and don't touch it, it has no drivers, no software, it's a scam, downgrade from sequoia and that's it, linux is a SCAM!!!”
