I followed every link in the Help/About screen. None of them led me to
my .gnucash file that I could see. Nor any other file that needed to be
saved.

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?
