Great question -- I run Microsoft Money -- it's managed my finances since 1995 -- I've got 30 years of financial transaction history in there I don't want to bail on. Sure it's old but it's always got the job done, I have no complaints other than it can no longer update stock prices from the internet. It's actually my most critical app to me, much more than gaming.

Last time I ran Wine it wasn't up to the task, graphical glitches etc. My financial package is too critical to me to live with downtime. I thought about trying to import to Quicken etc but all of the mainstream financial apps have become online subscription services -- that seems like a downgrade to me. Open to any suggestions here.

So, for the time being I'm still running windows. Until recently it hasn't been much of a problem for me. But with each upgrade Windows is becoming more and more of a thorn in my side. With Windows 11 being force fed to us it seems I'm going to be forced to migrate to Linux this year. Not looking forward to the transition of my daily workflow. I just want to run my apps, not play with a new OS. The pain is real.

Any suggestions on what Linux distro I'll have the easiest time migrating to?
