Turns out this is (of course) a winget problem. Bugs have been filed about it, and the source of the issue is fairly clear: an update in Fall 2024 that broke indexing when a version ends in "0" (zero). Has not been fixed (yet). Can be avoided by not having a version number ending in zero, or by having more than 2 parts (i.e. 5.x.x rather than 5.x0) which would be inconvenient. FWIW, GnuCash is apparently not alone in being affected; the original bug was filed regarding Firefox updates. So: important, but the ultimate fix lies elsewhere.

The distribution repo is controlled by the distribution, not GnuCash. Especially in Ubuntu, it tends to be wildly out of date, and the only way to get a *slightly* more modern version of GnuCash is to upgrade the whole system. Which is often not feasible especially with some of the forks like Mint. Flatpak avoids those problems. Another way would be to set up a separate repo for GnuCash that can be added to the apt search listings (used by software like Libreoffice and Onedrive Client), but that requires somebody to maintain it at GnuCash and complicates system updates somewhat.
Yes, flatpak tends to hog space; usually not a problem but it can be.
