Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

Mint is full fat Linux. Just one of the most polished and stable. Just because you aren't running gentoo or arch doesn't mean you aren't running Linux. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I've run Linux since the mid 90s. Honestly the most I tend to use the terminal for is updating or rsync. With KDE especially you can configure most things inside it and do basic user management as well. It's come a long way from it's CDEish 1.0 days. And a lot of the other DE are fairly similar.
