This Week in TUXEDO OS #44-2024

Hello TUXEDO Fans and Open-Source Enthusiasts!

After an intensive testing phase, it’s finally here: the TUXEDO OS rebase to Ubuntu 24.04.1 is now online. A detailed step-by-step update guide is available in our latest article. If you’d prefer to start fresh or try TUXEDO OS for the first time, the ISO file is ready for download. You may have noticed that we’ve done away with version numbers, now simply referring to our operating system as “TUXEDO OS.” Why? We also explain this in detail in the latest news.

Enjoy reading,
The TUXEDO OS Team

KDE App of the Week

KMyMoney 5.1.3

KMyMoney is a comprehensive financial management software for the KDE desktop, designed for users who want to manage their personal finances clearly and precisely. This open-source application combines the user-friendliness of a classic desktop app with a range of features typically found in professional finance software. KMyMoney supports standard accounting concepts such as income and expenses, bank accounts, and investments, allowing you to categorize and analyze your financial activities in detail.

Key features include support for multiple account types like checking, credit card, and savings accounts, along with the ability to record transactions in detail and even reconcile them automatically. Additionally, you can set up budgets and savings goals to facilitate efficient planning and control of your personal finances. KMyMoney also offers the option to import bank files (e.g., OFX, QIF) to minimize manual input. A wide range of reporting and analysis tools helps you keep track of your financial situation at all times.
