But who does need another desktop operating system?

Most people use Android and Windows. So today the natural successor to
Windows on the desktop seems to be Chrome OS (also supports
Android-Apps on many new Chrome OS-devices now), for older PCs
Cloudready (a Chrome OS-clone for PC).

I was thinking of replacing Quicken (Windows only) by GnuCash
(Windows, Linux, Mac etc.), but data transfer would be an ordeal, so I
stopped. But GnuCash it`s already available as a cloud solution for
Chrome OS:

And a Linux shell for Chrome OS is already in the beta phase (so later
GnuCash should run within Chrome OS), I played with it a bit on the
Acer Chromebox cxi3 (around 245 Euro) of our daughter. Btw, Kodi for
Android works well on this little box.
