I had looked into both of those already, but hadn't quite gotten over the learning curve quite yet.įor me, for whatever reasons, I think it will be helpful to use Crossover's commercial version of. That's enough for me to mark this as, as I got through the installation flawlessly, but I will update the post if I learn any lessons along the way of actually using Quicken Deluxe 2016.Īlso, thanks to others who suggested I look into GnuCash and kmymoney. In an offline email, Pierre suggested I try Crossover's version of. Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement, and not beating me up for a pretty whiny first post to the forums. If Quicken compatibility has made you resist switching to Linux, I suggest you try it too. Understanding that I won't directly be contributing to the source repository of any disto or project, is there any forum or community that would even appreciate a well written guide on how to make Quicken 2016 Deluxe work in Linux? I'd be happy to help contribute, if there is a community that would accept me as a test subject.Īny advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.Įdit: trying, and likely paying for Crossover's commercial. I'm willing to work for it, but I just can't get seem to get started in the right direction. Honestly, as ridiculous and as unimportant as it might sound, I think the biggest contribution I might be able to make to the Linux community is to provide a cohesive guide to others like me, who need this one "killer" (or is it "dying"?) app to work, before they can make the jump to Linux. It seems the Linux community doesn't necessarily care a whole about Quicken 2016 Deluxe, and I'm feeling a bit left behind, in that I think I need it. Net Core, pay $60 for Crossover, or something else? I need to get SOMETHING to work, in order to spend more of my time in the Linux ecosystem, but I would prefer to use the simplest and most open-source solution to work. I mean, do I need to install a 32 bit Linux or 64 bit? Do I stay with the Linux Mint 18 repository, or do I jump to the latest version WIneHQ has? Do I install Winetricks to install. The problems I am having are with the installer's verification of. I guess I just have to accept I'm a newbie to Linux, even though I have a strong 35+ year history with PC's, and am universally considered a computer geek by friends, co-workers, and family.Ĭan anyone tell me the right, best path to go to try to install Quicken Deluxe 2016 on Mint 18 (or any other distro)? It's the last/only thing from keeping me to go with full Linux, but I have to say it has been eye-opening and somewhat disappointing to see how disarrayed and weak the advice really is.
