Here is a bit of a left field answer: Why not try PCLinuxOS? You can download a copy & install it on a bootable USB stick (or similar). Once booted, you can load GnuCash from the repository & try it. The current version in the repository is 5.10. Then if the W10 Gnucash file is readable, you coul

Michael, Sure, but I was under the impression that OP wanted to open the same data file on both machines. Closing the books and rendering the opening balances in the other version won't allow them to see all their data. ⁣David T. ​ On Jan 24, 2025, 5:18 PM, at 5:18 PM, Michael or Penny Novac

Hi Sam/GNUCash users, https://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ - you can check out Open Tax Solver/OTS, but it may not work for you if you need to use forms that it does not support or if you need to file a tax return in one of the states that it does not cover. --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.f

Hi Everyone, I figured it out and now have it working on Linux Mint. It was an ABKB (Ahole Behind KeyBoard) problem. When I installed Mint I didn’t realize that I was using an older version (20.1). This version comes with an older GC version. Last night I worked on updating Mint to 21.2. After t

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 Wh

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. The non Flatpack version is GnuCash V5.5. On earlier Linux MInt versions you will be limited to earlier versions of GnuCash in most cases. If you are confident wit
