Seems VERY much like a verbatim homework question....

Since Linux Mint is not produced by a company, who-ever set the homework doesn't know much about Linux!

"how do you think companies that provide linux make most of their profit?"

Two basic ways. One is to have some ad support and or donations.

The other is commercial support.

Mint is the former.
