Varda, I travel with a laptop and use a desktop at home. If you have internet access while travelling I have had no problem with putting the GnuCash files in a Dropbox account synced to both the desktop and laptop. You can work without internet access and it syncs next time access is available. Only problem is it doesn't cope well with GnuCash open on both machines simultaneously to the extent that the file copy in the Dropbox on the machine where GnuCash is last closed will overwrite any changes made on the other machine. Mitigates against losing a USB. I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon basd on Ubuntu 16.04 and have had no problems with USB's being mounted readonly with it so as Adrein suggested it may be a Mate problem.
