@feddit.deHey y’all,
I’m looking for a desktop personal finance software. I really liked firefly-iii, but I’m not running a server right now, and it’s a bit of a PITA to set up as a desktop app.
The biggest thing I’m looking for is the ability to automatically refresh transaction from my various accounts (using Plaid, FinTS, Wise, and Paypal), rather than needing every transaction and transfer to be entered manually.
Which personal finance software tools have the best integrations for that and/or are extensible to allow me to write my own scripts to fetch transactions from eg. Wise?
I've heard of immutable OS's like Fedora Silverblue. As far as I understand it, this means that "system files" are read-only, and that this is more secure.
What I struggle to understand is, what does that mean in practical terms? How does installing packages or configuring software work, if system files can't be changed?
Another thing I don't really understand is what the benefits as an end user? What kinds of things can I do (or can be done by malware or someone else) to my Arch system that couldn't be done on an immutable system? I get that there's a security benefit just in that malware can't change system files -- but that is achieved by proper permission management on traditional systems too.
And I understand the benefit of something declarative like NixOS or Guix, which are also immutable. But a lot of OS's seem to be immutable but not purely declarative. I'm struggling to understand why that's useful.
