The flatpak may work for some folks, and it is certainly easy to install. Sadly, the flatpak has some important disadvantages. It requires more RAM (memory) to operate, which didn't work well on my older system with limited RAM. I also had some issues with flatpak sandboxing -- I keep my GnuCash data files stored in a way that were not accessible to the flatpak when I tried. (Though I feel sure I can move the data files if I need to.) P.S.: There's also a snap version of GnuCash. Unfortunately it's outdated now -- identified as version "2.6.21a," and the person who published it called the snap "gnucash-jz." I wrote the packager to ask about plans to update it, and apparently they had trouble packaging the newer versions. I presume that process might become easier with the recent refinements to GnuCash. But I also expect the snap version may have disadvantages similar to the flatpak. ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
