It all comes down to what you do on your system and if you have any specific requirements. In short:

Mac OSX: Not Free
Linux: Free

Mac OSX Requires Mac hardware to run.
Linux: Will run on a lot of hardware.

Mac OSX: More Paid Software available.
Linux: More Free software available.

Mac OSX: Closed
Linux: Open
