What would you use between these two? Linux Mint vs. Zorin OS?

Between Mint and Zorin, which one would you choose and why?  I am looking at moving the rest of the systems to linux here and I am deciding between these two. I know I am going to put my son's gaming laptop on Garuda gaming dragonized. Lots of emulation and games baked in for him.

ZorinOS is always behind in security updates because of an older kernel. That is my main drawback for a couple of "nice and shiny" distros. (Pop!OS, elementaryOS etc.) Older kernels are getting updates as well, but it's not the same as with the current kernel. And Mint is as patched as the main Linux source distros.
