From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have used GNUCash for maybe a decade (sounds impossible to me) but it's actually difficult to get much out of it for all the data one puts in. I'm in the XML data store I think, so maybe the SQL data implementation is better.
The graphs are ok and correctly setting up sub accounts as virtual envelopes within your normal account for your current account allows you to replicate the buckets/envelopes/spaces in, say, Starling bank (UK bank which sells its software to other banks as hussle).
I'm looking to set up something like Actual Budget (server) going forward.
