Dilemma between OCLP or Linux

Hey fellas, I have a MBP13 - 2015 with 8GB model. I'm in a dilemma to either upgrade to Sequoia 15.5 with OCLP or Linuxmint. Any recommendations? And if I uograde to Sequoia but the performance is so bad, is this process reversible easily or I should have another MacOS USB stick just in case? Thanks 🙏🏼
