Works fine in Windows or Linux (Mint in my case) using the same file. In
fact, I access the file freely using both operating systems, so if
you're moving to Linux just copy the files (probably, the whole data
directory) from Windows to Linux and proceed.
The main caution is that the Mint repository version of GnuCash may be
old; the Windows version always seems to be the latest. A few point
versions difference usually doesn't make any difference, but there's
always a chance for incompatibilities (they've happened to me in the
past), and there are occasions when there are significant bug fixes. You
need to look for how to get the latest version on Linux. I think my copy
is installed with Flatpack, but it might also be done using a different
repo than the standard Ubuntu one Mint uses. You should not need to do a
full compile-from-source with Mint (Ubuntu).

Subject: [GNC] .gnucash files - Issues Moving to Linux from Windows ?

I'm moving to go from Windows to Linux Mint... if gnuCash will open my
".gnucash" file.
The Questions:
1 - Will the "mystuff.gnucash" file open and work without issues after I move
from Windows to Linux Mint?
2 - Or can I expect some issues?
thanks for any help.
PS- I already have Linux Mint working on another computer so installing gnuCash is my
next step...- then copying our ".gnucash" accounting file over to the Linux
Mint computer will be our next step...- unless there are issues with continuing the
original .gnucash file with all our accounting history it it.
