Thanks for the reply. It is good to hear of success cases. I have been sucessfully using linux for about 6 years, but that success has required me to use virtualbox for my work software. I am just getting tired of virtualbox and the extra overhead that is required to run two operating systems simultaneously. Especially in the past 6 months.

Due to software requirements, I made the change to Windows 10 at about the same time I purchased a 4k monitor. I'm not sure if its a Windows 10 issue or a 4k issue but between the 2 of them my Windows guest is dragging to a point I can barely get work done and that is on a host machine with 16GB of RAM and I am still digging into my swap file for another 4GB of RAM. So I am just very frustrated with the performance of my machine right now and wondering why I am using Linux when all my work software requires Windows. (There are currnetly no other options. Not even versions for MacOS.) So right now I am just looking for a way to get my machine back to maximum production for work purposes. Fortunately, my software company has a cloud version of their software in beta, so relief is coming. But I fear it will just bring about other issues of insecurity and unreliability of the cloud. Not to mention browser based software tends to be short on various features. So right now, I am just hanging on and waiting for the software my work requires to materialize in a form I can use in Linux. I see it coming, so I hate to give up now. I'm just getting tired of the fight for software freedom. The demise of Maui just seemed to add to my negative outlook. So thank you for the encouragement.

As an accountant what software do you recommend for small business owners? I've used Quickbooks for 20 years and it meets all my needs. But of course its Windows only or $120 per year for cloud based version. Which seems expensive considering I am still happy with Quickbooks Pro 2006. Obviously the continued revenue stream is the driving force behind cloud software. I've tried several free cloud based systems, but only one of them (Crunched) allowed me to do my accounting on a cash basis and even seemed like it could remotely meet my needs. So I was wondering if you may know of something I missed. (I tried the obvious KMyMoney, Gnucash, Manager). I even tried some self hosted server stuff, but never figured out how to get server software setup. Any suggestions?
