I have installed it recently and am trying it out. There are a lot of things there so for now i probably just scratched the surface of it's capabilities. So i can't say definitely if it satisfies my needs.

But i have gained feeling that all programs i looked at dont have capability for something like tags. GNU Cash has account hierarchy (which i like) but i didnt find tags or equivalent.

Example use case for tags would be if i want to specify for expenses if they were "wants" or "needs".

And that is messy to try to do in hierarchy, because if i put it in root than both children will basicaly be duplicated (whole sub tree), and if i put it in leaves than i will have sub account for "wants" and "needs" in every leaf account.

    I am interested what do you use for tracking your expenses and other things like income, lending, investing, ...

    All apps i tried don't have a lot of features or those features are buggy (or they at least seem so).

    Have you found some app that does all that you want or do you use spreadsheets or some other solution?

    I can't find some lightweight dm compression layer. Only one i found is VDO and for some reason it uses a lot of memory to operate (on the order of 500 MiB). Why is that? My idea was to use it on a normal laptop/pc that does not have a lot of memory to waste. Only other alternative is btrfs, but it is already slow by itself (compared to other fs like ext4). Idealy what i would want is something like ext4 on VDO (only compression with VDO, and of course there would be LVM in there), only problem with this is that VDO is heavy on memory.
