A quick try to install Gimp 2.8 packages in a Mint 20. Too many dependency issues, especially with GEGL. As ofnuts comment, you can compile from source.
Not going to write reams on this, there is already much on the subject
1. You can change the theme Edit -> Preferences -> Theme https://i.imgur.com/IGpgmST.jpg and the icon theme and size Edit -> Preferences -> Icon Theme https://i.imgur.com/PN7yFgF.jpg
2. The tools are now in groups, click on an icon for a drop down menu or the mouse scroll wheel, however you can go back to one icon per tool. Edit -> Preferences -> Toolbox and untick Use tool groups https://i.imgur.com/sH8dMrW.jpg
3. See 1.
4. Keyboard shortcuts, Look in the Tools menu and next to a tool is the shortcut. 'C' works here but it might have been removed (somehow).
5. The multi-window mode is still there same as in Gimp 2.8 untick Windows -> Single Window Mode
Differences between machine installations. Gimp 2.10 will try and 'inherit' some settings / scripts / plugins from an existing Gimp 2.8 installation - rename your ~/.gimp-2.8 profile to disable it.
If you are using an older computer maybe with a smaller display say, 1366x768 you will struggle to fit Gimp 2.10 Keep the tool groups and compact sliders.
You probably do not like videos but I do keep them short and to the point: https://youtu.be/UgKL03OZI8k duration 3 minutes.
