I have a Linux Mint machine (and old Samsung Windows machine that got a
new hard drive) and I have some questions about Linux users workflow.
It seems like I can only run the program through the terminal, and I'm
kind of used to the Windows POV-Ray gui.
Is there a gui that I just can't find? Or is there just a terminal
workflow that people use?

Maybe Visual Studio Code:
https://code.visualstudio.com/
I use it on Windows but it claims to have Linuxes and MacOS versions. It
doesn't support POV out of the box, but is extensible, and there are two
POV-Ray extensions freely available. I'm still not sure which one could
be better, I use one called "POV-Ray 2" v2.1.1, it provides syntax
highlighting and stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't support folding, but
neither do POV-Ray.
Seems to be reasonably good text editor with extras, and, due to its
extensibility, seem to be good for different languages.

do a search for 'qtpovray'. D Balaska's GUI version for Linux.
re editing. Vim has syntax highlighting for POV-Ray, fwiw, it also supports
folds.

Since I'm still trying to learn Python, I'm using VCS as an editor
anyway (it have Python extension as well). As can be noticed, I already
used Python for some POV-Ray export programs (and more are expected), so
having VSC with extensions for both Python and POV-Ray gives me the
ability to see both my Python code, its POV output, and final rendering
side by side, that somewhat simplifies debugging.
But surely people with different needs and habits have the right to have
different habits ;-)

there are even people, I hear (rumours), who use "emacs".. </gasp></grin>
no "challenge" intended, written (arguably) without due care and attention,
sorry.

Correction to my previous post: it seems like Visual Studio Code DOES
support code folding for POV-Ray (with extension). However, it looks
like it doesn't really understand the code nesting, and simply counts
spaces at the beginning of every line. That is, folding result depends
not on actual scene structure, but simply on text formatting. Finally I
have the reason to care of POV scene text formatting.
(that makes me think of updating my POV-output programs I keep posting
here to no avail, lol)
