I guess I should go to Linux mint or Ubuntu. The only thing I really use windoze for is to run Sony Vegas for video editing and watching DVDs.

Hey, me too. Good software package.

I am running an older version and so I am sticking with XP for now.

I LITTERALLY just downloaded it an hour ago. I have a legacy IMB Thinkpad that I wanted to use, and thought maybe Linux was the way to go. I’ve been learning Linux on a Raspberry Pi. It’s been fun.

I get why the Linux community likes it better. Windows, in a very real sense, keeps you stupid about how your computer works. Many, many people don’t care how it works. I get that.

However, once you know, wow is Linux easier to use and maintain.

What are some decent Linux compatible alternatives to Quicken that easily let you track expenses and investments? And not do so via a cloud?
