Mike I have a simple script to install the dependencies somewhere. I haven't used it in a long time as they are now pretty stable - except perhaps on Windows. A number of these have appeared over the years on the mailing list ( and may even be in the wiki. I have another script which does the build and install (3 lines) although I have done it so often over the past 16 years I don't actually use the script any more. Only very very occasionally do significant problems occur in the new releases. I can only remember having to revert to the previous version one or two times over that 16 years and then usually only for a very short period. The core of GnuCash is solid and most of the changes are usually around display and formatting issues rather than the core accounting functionality.
I think most of the Flatpak problems have been sorted now and barring any chnages to Flatpak itself it shouldn't be a problem. The Flatpak from the Linux MInt repositories worked well last time I used it. It makes sense if you are doing production work to hang off for the initial screams to die down before upgrading.
