![]() Without further ado, here are the Linux apps I tested and my results of trying them. The number is probably not important, other than to explain why I had absolutely no desire to reenter data from scratch with a new application. I think my QIF file contained between 11,000 and 12,000 transactions. QIF seems to be one of those industry "standards" that isn't quite standard, so you can't depend on an application that has a QIF import function to correctly import any old QIF file. The best (only?) way to get data out of Quicken is by exporting to a QIF ( Quicken Interchange Format) file. Features and stability matter, but the #1 concern for me was the ability to migrate my Quicken data to the new application, and that's the focus of this post. So I've been tentatively planning for a while to migrate to a Linux personal finance package. For what it's worth, Quicken 2004 Deluxe R3 is rated "bronze", but on my system the installer crashes. Unfortunately, most versions of Quicken seem not to work very well under Wine: ratings are heavily silver (mostly works), bronze (some features work, some don't) or the self-explanatory "garbage" with a smaller number of platinum (problem-free) and gold instances. At this point, it's pretty much the only reason I ever have to boot into Windows, and it's a bit of a PITA to have to exit Linux Mint and reboot into Windows to do bills, then reverse the process to get back to work (or play). I keep tabs of my personal finances using a copy of Quicken 2004 running on Windows. If you find accounting terminally boring, feel free to stop reading now (and, trust me, I understand).
