Effective immediately, the new release of Ubuntu, 17.10, aka 'Artful Aardvark' has been released!
This release will be supported for 9 months (until 2018) for Long Term Support, stick with release 16.04, instead.
Official flavors (e.g. Kubuntu) are also released.
See the above release notes for a full list of changes and where you can get a copy.
[Full disclosure: the majority of SoylentNews' servers run Ubuntu 16.04 LTS though we have taken steps towards moving to Gentoo.]
Also:
The customized version of GNOME that Ubuntu 17.10 uses is very much in the mould of the (now defunct) Unity desktop, so it won't be to everyone's tastes.

Fifteen or so years ago, there were a bunch of tech-scared pussies on Slashdot and other places that tried to be all Linux
So, around 2002.
Quicken of that vintage runs via WINE according to my research. [google.com]
One wonders what WINE support was like for that at the time.
I would have linked to CodeWeavers' page but, since the last time I visited them, their pages have taken to requiring JavaScript.
Even after taking it to archive.li, they're using emojis or a font that I have no interest in installing--rather than plain text, as intelligent people would have used.
...and that was after archive.li downloaded a shitload of webfonts.
Just pathetic.
idiots [...] posers
Back then, they also didn't have AlternativeTo. [alternativeto.net]
{Rodney Dangerfield voice} I tell ya, things were tough back then.
