From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have been self hosting fireflyIII for almost 2 months now, I like it, my wife is an accountant and she likes it. I didn't want to have to pay for an accounting service, and my credit union doesn't have an api that I am aware of to connect to the paid services anyway.
Would recommend 👍
Have you had to deal with refunds yet? I see that as a criticism and I would have to agree that the official doc's way of handling them is not ideal for our situation or the way refunds are handled in my country. Interested in knowing if anyone has come up with more creative solutions.
Maybe something from this list could fit your requirements better. I've been using Firefly for a couple years now and in combination with 3rd party Android app(s) it's been okay for me. But refunds have always been hacky for sure.
Thanks, that list is really helpful :)
I have not had to do a refund yet
