Use Quicken Simplifi (web) for new workflows, a Windows VM for Quicken Classic, or migrate to GnuCash.

GnuCash/HomeBank are capable personal-finance replacements; legacy QDF data is the migration hurdle.

What breaks on Linux?

  • No Linux desktop version
  • Quicken data files (.QDF) do not import into GnuCash directly
  • Bank-connection/Quicken Bill features need the Windows app
