Today, if you want to work directly with Google Drive from Linux, you need to purchase InSync. Google has promised it would integrate Google Drive with Linux since Drive rolled out in 2012. This lets Mint users - like macOS with iCloud and Windows users with Microsoft OneDrive - work directly with Google and OwnCloud files from Nemo. Compare that with Windows, where as a friend recently pointed out, just updating a Logitech mouse driver took about 10 minutes. With Mint, it took me less than an hour and most of that was waiting for the download to complete.

Want to update your system to a new one? With Macs and Windows, that can take hours. You search for your app, you point, you click. Instead, they can just use an app store approach such as Mint's Software Manager.
But, ordinary desktop users need not bother with these.

Want to install an application? Sure you can use shell-based tools such as apt-get on Debian-based Linux distributions or yum on the Red Hat family of operating systems. If you've ever used Windows XP, you'll feel completely at home. Mint's Cinnamon interface uses a classic Windows, Icons, Menu, and Pointer (WIMP) interface. Despite ancient FUD, Linux, especially the new Linux Mint 18.3 but really all current Linux desktops, are simple to use. And, they do, but you must actively try to infect your system to get them. Yes, I know you've read stories saying they exist. Oh, and by the way, in using Linux desktops for over 25 years now, I have never needed to use an anti-virus program because, for all practical purposes, there are no Linux viruses.
