Hi Sam/GNUCash users, What version of Linux Mint are you using? The current version is 22.1 - https://www.linuxmint.com/download_all.php
I would agree with David that the Flatpak version of GNUCash is the best way to use GnuCash on Linux Mint - https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnucash.GnuCash While I would not recommend downgrading versions of GNC, if that is really what you want to do, here is the FAQ section of the GNC Wiki - https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.facebook.com/brad.morrison.12327/ & https://norcal.social/@BradMorrison On 2025-01-23 03:00, David Cousens wrote: > Sam, > > If you install the Flathub version from the Linux Mint Software > Manager, it should be GnuCash V5.10 at least on Linux Mint V22.
