I assumed that

General Configuration data
Gnucash 3.0 and newer: The contents of GNC_DATA_HOME and GNC_CONFIG_HOME.

Linux: HOME/.gnucash - most of your preferences, adjusted report settings, column withs, window positions, etc.

means that in HOME, I should find a directory called .gnucash but I do not see one?
