[GNC] porting Gnucash from W10 to Linux Mint

[Robert Heller]

Not a Turbo Tax replacement, but Open Tax Solver is available and is what I 
use. https://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/  It there is a *web-based* 
incarnation of Turbo Tax, that might work under Linux (in a Web Browser -- FF 
or Chromium, etc.).

Note: OTS is not a tax filing tool, just computes and fills out most tax
forms. That is, you end up with the forms, ready to print and file via USPS.
*Some* forms can be filed directly to irs.gov, but some can't -- you either
have to file paper forms (via USPS) or use a *paid* web-based tax filing
service.

The only tax filing software that works under Linux is any *web based* tax 
filing service.  These are free for *simple* tax filers.  Pulling in Schedule 
C invokes a demand for a CC to pay...

This version comes with an older GC version. Last night I worked on updating Mint to 21.2. After the Mint update I noticed that GC was now at 4.8. I copied the latest version of .gnucash file from windows to Mint and now it works.Thanks for all of your help, suggestions and understanding.Mint is a little different but, so far, I’m impressed. And GC is WAY better than Quicken.
