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

[Robert Heller]

If the version of GnuCash you install on the Linux Mint system is 
"compatibile", your .gnucash will open just fine.  "Compatibile" just means: 
equal or greater version number.

You will also want to move your config files. I don't know where they are
under MS-Windows, but under Linux they would should be under
$HOME/.config/gnucash/ for recent verions of GnuCash and $HOME/.gnucash for 
older versions.  Probably not necessary, unless you have things like saved 
reports, preferences, etc.
