Quicken on Linux

The wine application database rates various Quicken releases under wine, with the ratings varying from garbage for some versions, to platinum for others. YMMV, but at least some Quicken versions run.

Codeweavers rates some Quicken releases under CrossOver Linux as bronze, some as silver, with the overall assessment as bronze (which indeed carries a lot of warnings).

So I'd say it's not that winehq and crossover say Quicken won't work - but rather that, depending on version, it may work.

I myself run Q2007 H&B under wine 1.1.38. The basics all work. I haven't tried the transaction and investment download functions, which I suspect could indeed be more problematic.

The latest Platinum that's *fully* tested is 2006.

Back to my original assertion, it doesn't run properly, 3 year old versions are problematical.

It shows as not tested, probably be worth a try to let the WINE people know.

So did you use Super Validate to determine there were no errors in your Quicken file, or just Validate?

I know how to read.

As do I, so I will go with your comment, "all my files validate".

I would suggest that you make a copy of your Quicken file, and run Supervalidate on that copy. That way you can see if your file has errors without affecting the Quicken file you use.

I will say that my file passed Validate fine, there were no errors.

However, the new Q2010 Supervalidate found two pages worth of errors. All the errors found were partial transactions, i.e., transfer from one account to another when one of the accounts did not exist. I suspect the error was caused by a bug in the year end copy process, in that old unused accounts were removed improperly, leaving partial transactions in the registers.

I can see where the partial transactions would give GnuCash problems. I can see where partial transactions would give any other financial programs problems.

I owe you an apology, for some reason your comment seemed "snarky" so my reply was also. I see now what you meant but either way there was no reason for me to reply as I did.

In view of Quicken's statement I felt it unnecessary and might even be harmful but I did it and it was harmful but only to Billminder. I deleted the .rmd file and all is well again.

I don't doubt it but that's not a concern to me, I should explain that after more years than I care to tell of struggling with Linux, GnuCash, MSFT Money, MoneyDance, etc. I decided that Linux wouldn't work for me and Quicken was going to be the ONLY financial program I'd use.

If Intuit ever decides to port Quicken and TurboTax over to Linux I'll re-investigate Linux, if Intuit does indeed drop the PC version of Quicken, I'll investigate alternatives but I believe the chances of either occurring are very small.
