I am a staunch Linux user, and came from the Quickbooks world as well.
I am running a very small database, but have it in the sqlite, since
that (for me) is very easy to work inside of if i need to poke around in
the database (which I do).
I much prefer the 'double entry' approach to things rather than the
bubble wrapped QB environment, and yes QB is getting expensive!
I can't imagine any functional difference between any of the platforms
as it pertains to GnuCash.

Hey all,
Noob user here just getting started with GnuCash (as QuickBooks Desktop
has gone from about $66/yr to almost $600 in Intuits efforts to push
users to SaaS online and I refused to put my financial info on "the
cloud" -- file under "Equifax protects credit info with login ->
Admin:Admin").
So --
That being said, I have Linux systems. I have Windows system.
I have Windows systems running Linux VMs and Linux systems running
Windows VMs.
I really dig the idea that GnuCash can use MySQL and might set that up
once I get used to GnuCash.
But first, am I better off running it in Linux or Windows (It looks like
the answer is Linux from what I've see of the Wiki).
And while I have a super basic setup configured, the first thing I'd
like to test out is my banking connection.
I think there's a dead link in the wiki:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings#U.S._Bank
says:
U.S. Bank
Fee $3.95/month for home user, $9.95-12.95/month for business (See
Bank With Quicken).
Which points to a 404 page.
It *looks* like more useful information might be found here:
https://www.quicken.com/support/important-notice-quicken-users-us-bank-accounts-avoid-mistakenly-migrating-direct-connect
but I might be wrong.
Anyway - as mentioned, I'd be coming off Quickbooks not Quicken... but
in Quickbooks, USbank lists as PFM-DirectConnect. Not sure if that's the
same.
SO -- to setup/test/troubleshoot my US Bank connections, should I be
emailing the AqBanking list or is that something to discuss here as well?
(it also seems like the AqBanking list of banks when doing the setup
yields no results typing in the search bar - I'm assuming that's due to
lacking the list... but
LIke -> https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings
lists my bank. Is that all I need?
There's also -> wget
http://www.jongsma.org/gc/bankinfo/getfidata.sh.gz which seems broken.
It resolved, but there's nothing running on port:80 - So perhaps a note
to the Wiki is recommended?
Thanks a bunch,
-Ben
