Command+Click on a newly installed Intel MacBook (Mid-2010) often fails after installing both Xubuntu and Linux Mint; instead the Menu pops. I can't invoke a context menu to get to Properties and other functions.

I have tried two finger clicking using a different distro (Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS), but hate it since I can't seem to accomplish it most of the time. How do I create a hot-key to give me right-click functionality? It need not use Command.

hold down Control, then click for right click function.

You need to effectively modify the corresponding file to Pointer_Button3 depending on what key you want to change.

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin

The file point is to enable an accessibility setting that varies based on the machine you use. Mint,Xubuntu,Ubuntu should all have this option.
