That's the snap version. It should be regarded as "experimental" as
well as kinda old. Snap is a new idea that shows great promise, but
right now it's a work in progress and it's not clear if or how snap
installations of third-party software like Gnucash will be maintained
(upgraded) or who, exactly, will be responsible. I'd avoid it, for now.
You can install gnucash using Synaptic (if you have that installed) or
from a terminal command prompt using the "apt" utility. The apt command
will be:
sudo apt install gnucash-common gnucash python3-gnucash gnucash-docs
It will ask you to enter your password. As of today it will install
version 3.41.
If you're adventurous you can install version 3.5x by building it
directly from the source code. There are excellent step by step
instructions on the Gnucash Wiki Page and as much help as you'll ever
need right here on this list.

Someone in a thread a few months ago investigated Appimage, but put it on

I sent an e-mail to the maintainer of the Snap some months ago about
updating it to 3.x and have never heard back.

Thanks for the reminder! I searched and found Geert's message from
January 20 (this year) about the build system creating flatpaks but the
message says to not publicize the link (because it's not on a server that
can handle the bandwidth), so I won't reiterate it. (But I may test it!)
In the default snap repository (snapcraft.io) there's a snap of GnuCash
labeled version 2.6.21a ... and following the trail back it's coming from
an individual's github repository. I presume it was a one-off experiment,
but unfortunately it's what's readily available if you search for GnuCash
snaps.
Similarly, I see someone's github with an AppImage generation script for
GnuCash... but none yet listed on the AppImage "app store."
I'm hopeful eventually one or more of the image formats will be packaged
"officially" and updates pushed out automatically. I am sure a lot of folks
would appreciate it.
