Hi Joel,

Turbo Tax and Quicken are home user Linux killers.  There
is GNU Cash, but it is not EXACTLY the same.

I agree.  Linux use to be difficult to operate years ago.
But it was a lot of years ago.  MATE, Xfce, KDE and
all really really simple to use: far simpler that W11's
rip off of Chromebooks GUI. Gnome is way too weird for
me though.

In over 30 years of ding this, I have been unable to convert any
business over to Linux as they must have their M$ Office,
QuickBooks, Adobe...  I have a few Linux servers out there.
