GCA4 and GCA5 are built on entirely different foundations (GCA5 is based on .Net 4) so you should not rely on anything related to GCA4 for help getting GCA5 to run on Linux.
This is what it says on the current GCA Support page for GCA5:
Linux Support
Although not officially supported, several testers have reported success installing and running on Linux, using Wine. For those looking to experiment, the most-successful installation used the Windows 7 container (the default) using Wine 6.18, ran the installer within that, then added .NET 4.61. (Printing functionality may not be available, depending on driver-compatibility.) User-to-user assistance may be found on the GURPS Character Assistant Forum.
And here's what another user posted for GCA5 some time back:

Seems to be working just fine, even able to update properly, although I haven't tested thoroughly yet.

I have had other folks complain that the print-related stuff (preview, sheet view) did not work on Linux. I do not know if they got it to work or not, or even if MeddlingMonk's was working.
