KMyMoney 5.0 Released, Ported To KDE Frameworks 5

[R41N3R]

Same here. I don't download nor use and will purge when I find them ANY program using KDE 4/Qt4 framework and/or libraries.

Curious though. How does KMyMoney stack up against the other big Qt/KDE based financial program Skrooge, which went KDE5/Qt5 a while back? I heard Skrooge can recognize and track cryptocurrencies. What about KMyMoney?

Seems like it is not fully ported, at least on Arch Linux the new KMyMoney tries to pull in a phonon-qt4-* backend.

Update: It might be a packaging issue, if I compile the git version from AUR then there is not such a dependency.

Someone (don't remember who, or where) once said that Linux will be ready for the desktop the day someone develops a graphical package manager that is not called "grpm". Hear hear!

Well, at least I saw in their start menu they have somehing like:
Web Browser
Firefox
File Manager
Dolphin
So people can see first the generic name (what the tool is supposed to do) and then the name its developers gave it (which doesn't matter too much).
That's pretty well thought in my opinion.

Discover on KDE Neon?

Michael, have you tried Skrooge?

Skrooge seems nice... Compared to KMyMoney i don't know which is better... Opinions?

I tried Skrooge as well, but what was missing for my usage was AqBanking and HBCI interface. Without this it was pretty useless to me.

It's the stupid and childish branding that we can see in most of Linux DEs, like Linux wasn't user unfriendly enough.
No wonder Linux on desktop has 1% user share and I can't really recommend it to any friend when a simple "file manager" has 10 different names in 10 distributions.

I guess you won't recommend Android and its ten zillion different user interfaces (and names) either, but at least there you can't claim it's the reason it has like 80% share of mobile, and like 60% of internet usage share.

OMG and Apple? they place an "i" in front of all their stuff!!!! HOW USER UNFRIENDLY!!!!

Because Windows Explorer and Finder are somehow better names... Protip: All names suck, none of them make things user friendly or not as long as they are recognizable as words.

Or do what the makers of Skrooge did with the K. Clever, invokes the famous miser of money in Dicken's Christmas Carol and still got the K of KDE in there.

I've been using Moneydance for the past six moths after getting frustrated with not being able to get Quicken 2017 running under Wine or CrossOver. I had been using Quicken since the 1990s. After a bit of adjustment, I am pretty happy with MoneyDance. While it is proprietary it at least is fully supported on Linux (as well as MacOS and Windows.)

call me crazy but I don't stand still use the K on each program that they made, even now the desktop is called Plasma is way better, they should switch all the K.

New applications don't have the "k", but they tend to avoid renaming existing applications.
