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?
