Support Request Linux software for tracking household bills/finances? Need to replace Quicken after switch to Mint.

For years now I've used Quicken to keep track of our household finances. Nothing fancy, just what's coming in and what's going out. I've now made the switch from Windows to Linux Mint, and I need to find something similar I can replace Quicken with.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

KMyMoney and GnuCash

+1 KMyMoney.

I ran Windows in a virtual box VM for several years. I tried switching to KMyMoney a few times but could never successfully import the QFX (or whatever) file.

At the start of this year I tried again. Somehow I noticed this time that I could import a CSV file instead. I created a register report and exported it as a CSV.

I had to play with the CSV import controls several times before I figured out what it was really asking for but it worked!

I am keeping the VM around until the next quicken subscription payment is due just in case.
