I preface what I'm about to write with: I'm very new to linux as well and probably just know enough to be dangerous. However, given the wording of the error, and that you still get it after following the linked steps, I would personally try the following if I was experiencing the issue.
With everything closed I would run the following command in your terminal: $sudo apt install libgconf2-4 If it asks to install listed package with a y/n type Y and then enter to continue the install. Depending on how that goes, restart your machine and then try the ./nw launch again.
