I, too, am having trouble finding files. I backed up .gnucash a while
back and now I can't find it to save my life. It is buried somewhere
deep in Linux Mint 22.3. I went to the wiki and tried its suggestion to
try and find GSETTINGS. It said go to /org/gnucash. I don't have an org
directory under either Home or file system. To me that means the wiki
is unusable. Where are all the files I need to save on my system?

Joseph,
The process is much simpler than you are making it out to be.
See the Wiki here:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_just_got_a_new_computer._What_should_I_copy_over_from_my_old_one.3F
At a minimum, just copy over the book file ending in ".gnucash"
Though as the wiki entry above notes, you probably also want to copy
over configurations and saved reports as well. That wiki link will
lead you to the right steps to take.
Regards,
Adrien

Hello,I need help as the subject line states. I am not a computer
tech guy and am really the accounting guy using Gnucash. I installed
5.12 on my Win 11 laptop. I then exported to CSV files from my 5.12
on Win 10 desktop the following: Account Register, Account Tree, and
Account Transactions. I next exported Accounts to whatever file type
it is. I assumed I could then open 5.12 on my Win 11 laptop and
import same files. That did not happen as planned.
I have years of work in my 5.12 Win 10 machine that must be able to
be salvaged for the Win 11 instance of 5.12. Please help me recreate
it on the Win 11 laptop. I also have numerous reports that I have
created.
