1. To each their own, I never 'close the books' and keep trucking
happily along.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, the autocompletes are not 'learned' and there
is no independent list. It is a real-time-as-you-type
'search/suggestion' feature looking at the other Description fields in
that register.
This is why if you have a spelling variance, you find those affected
transactions and change them, and then that variance will no longer show
up in the suggestion drop down for autocomplete.
This is also why if you start a new file each year, you 'lose'
autocomplete until you start entering transactions, and then only get
suggestions for what you have entered that year - because prior years
are not in that file.
2. I think there *might* be a way to set up a one-click install of a
linux version using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) but I don't know
the details off-hand or how hard it is to get it that simple. You can
certainly try to do so manually. ('install' a supported distro like
Ubuntu via WSL, then install GnuCash, I have no idea if you are stuck
with an old repo version, if Flatpak is a thing in WSL, or if you'd have
to build from source.)
If MS ever makes that possible for app deployment, I'm sure many OSS
projects could gravitate to that model instead of fighting with MS build
systems and quirks.

1. For year-end I journal all expenses and income (Income Statement
stuff) to Equity. The learned autocompletes are remembered. The books
start at zero, meaning for budgetary reasons a quick look gives you
information for the current year. GC is different this way, my previous
system required month-end and year-end processing.
2. Linux. Early adopters years ago might have needed a certain geek
level. Linux in its various flavours has matured significantly since then.
To the devs and list manager. I write the above because there are so
many Windows related problems on this list. I am sure that some GC
users would benefit making the transition like my family did.
