Love me some Linux Mint

If Quickbooks and Turbotax would create a Linux port of their system, there would be no need for me to maintain ANY Windows OS in my house.

For work, I need Viso to have a port [sigh].

I *loved* Linux Mint since version 12. It was everything that the Ubuntu "Unity" disaster should have been. But I gave it up for PCLinuxOS at version 17 as a result of the SystemD disaster. The first time your services die for no reason or you get rooted on the Internet, give PCLinuxOS a shot. I haven't looked back.

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.
