Hello,

That makes sense, David and John. Thanks. According to this list Ubuntu 20 supports Gnucash 3.8

https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/allpackages?format=txt.gz

Are there any major advantages and improvements to versions 3 and 4?

The choices on what versions are supplied wiith a given OS version are
made
by the maintainers of the OS distribution. They usually use the current
GnuCash version (but not always) at the time of release of a new OS
version.
If you want to stay up to date with GnuCash, the main options are to use
the
flatpak or snap versions of GnuCash where available or to build the latest
version of GnuCash from the sources as described in the wiki
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux. Once build environment
and
the dependencies are installed the process is generally fairly simple.
Also
check the developer mailing list for any problems with building the most
recent version. MySQL8 proved problematical in building GC 4.0/4.1
recently
on Linux Mint 20 (ubuntu 20.04 based) which was fixed by downgrading a
mysqlclient library that GnuCash depends on as described in the dev
mailing
list.
