Actually, you can override the Linux Mint Shortcut! If you navigate to System Settings > Windows > Behavior, you'll find the Special key to move and resize windows setting. You can change the key to your Super or Ctrl/Cmd key, or disable the setting entirely.

If you have a conflict with Alt, you do have the option to chose either CtrlCmd or Alt (the default) to get the multi-cursor functionality. See this setting:

Editor: Multi Cursor Modifier

You can also toggle between using CtrlCmd or Alt with this keybinding:

{
    "key": "shift+alt+q",
    "command": "workbench.action.toggleMultiCursorModifier"
},
