I use Mint 17.1 and our Quicken Home works well and is stable. I use PlayOnLinux to get it to run and there's been no problems at all. You might give it a shot. Or Try CrossOver from CodeWeavers.
You could also use the free Oracle VM VirtualBox to run a Windows OS and do whatever you need with QuickBooks. I use VirtualBox on my Mint to run XP for a number of Windows Programs. Games and such.
#18 ah yes the old zeugma command....
Greek to me :)
Funny thing is, if you're using KDE, the file manager understands the "fish://" protocol, so you can basically do a drag/drop operation from a gui to do the same thing whether or not the files are local or remote to you. Personally, I think typing 20 or so characters is quicker than going through the trouble of using a graphical file broswer. YMMV.
It has been several years since I last tried PlayOnLinux / Wine / CrossOver. It was not working very well back then. Perhaps things have changed.
I’ll take a look. Thanks.

If if Install Chrome OS on a PC and Turn It Into a Chromebook then do you think I could install the software on it and get it to work?

It’s worth a shot
Thanks.
