Just stick with QuickBooks online. It's a cloud SaaS. Most of not all small-to-medium business owners have the cloud tool, it's the 800 pound gorilla, for sure. 

I know this because my wife does business consulting and she tells me it's everywhere. They are different in like layout, tools, menus, so learning the desktop (meant more for single use personal finances) wouldn't really translate to the SaaS offering.

I know, I know.... this is a Linux group and Quickbooks is a windows thing. I was hoping to learn Quickbooks [or the linux equivalent] and to start a Bookkeeping business. I have a few questions:
1- Does it work under Wine? Chat gpt says partially.
2- I've heard that you don't need an accounting degree. Is that true? Chatgpt says it isn't necessary.
3- What is the Linux equivalent? Chatgpt mentioned odoo (as well as the usual suspects). I like the idea of odoo due to the fact that you can get semi-formal training on Udemy. (I wanted to probe further with chatgpt about odoo but it became unresponsive (the enter button grayed out)/
4- Where can I get training for Quickbooks (or the Linux equivalent)?
5- Where can I get a copy of Quickbooks for a low price if that is the best path to take? Like, you can get Windows for about $15 so why not Quickbooks? (gpt said I couldn't)
