You're on a Linux platform so it won't directly matter, but be aware that the Windows 5.5 version has a major bug (many reports don't work). It's fixed in 5.5.1 and 5.6, so if you ever share your data files into the Windows universe, it's unlikely it would be to 5.5.
That said, I'm not aware any data file format changes within 5.x, so sending data files from Linux 5.5 to Windows 5.6 should work regardless.

I note lots of Gremlins reported in the mailing list about V5. https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2024-April/111721.html seems relevant (no data file changes confirmed by lead developed), GnuCash V4.14 being the last V4 release. Using the same data file with V4.14 or V5.6 seems a low risk upgrade path as long as you are not running custom reports.
