Nikon and Canon (and Sony, etc) each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Go for the fit, not the brand.
Also, if you're thinking about entering the DSLR world, start cheap on the body and $$ on the lens. Resale value on lens are much better (less upgrades) versus the body (upgrades every 2-4 years).
And Canon refurbished is akin to Bose, Valve, and Apple's refurbished -- just as good as new.

Nikon has been chasing Canon for decades. Canon's Auto focus system is miles ahead of Nikon's, the real advantage of Nikon is cheaper and more offerings on third party lenses
DSLR era -- yes, it's all F-mount. It'll fit. But will it work? Well it depends on FF vs Crop Sensor (that's fine, all other makers have that too). Then the motor for the focus drive. Then if it's an advanced chipset or not. And then if there's a one-off exception for THAT lens on THAT body. Sigh.
(and the Nikon "community" is about as.... toxic as they come. They'll openly berate you --> "Oh, you're using a 7 year old body. That's ancient. What did you EXPECT was going to happen? Do you really expect these newer BETTER lenses to be compatible, to cater to your luddite needs?")
Canon's EF? Pretty much any lens made since 1986 will work JUST FINE on EF mount -- film slr or DSLR. There are exceptions, typically with Film SLR EF budget third-party lenses on newer DSLR bodies....or using the absolute newest third party lenses on older bodies. (see a trend here?)
As for mirrorless, same applies for Nikon. You need to validate each config -- lens + adapter (there are several kinds, smart or dumb adapters) + body -- just to see if it works or not. And you have a variety of settings you need to change for each lens in the body to get it to work.
To be fair, it's even worse for Sony between their Minolta/Sony DSLR lenses being adapted to their modern mirrorless line. So many adapters, so many exceptions.
Canon? Very few edge case exceptions with their EF to RF adapter. Most EF lenses will perform even better on an RF body than a DSLR body.
That's why I like Canon so much -- it's really easy to use. The only major thing that's a bit left out is their EF-M (first-gen mirrorless)....you can adapt EF to it, but can't bring EF-M anywhere else. But there are so few decent EF-M lenses, so you're not missing out on much.
