Hi Felix,
If she's going to use Quickbooks then she'll need some version of Win.
Quickbooks since 2002(ish) does not play well on Linux. See this answer:

Even if she's willing to give up QB for some other program (GnuCash, ??),
it's generally considered easy enough to setup a Win 10 Virtual Machine so
that a person should just stick with QB (especially if they need to
send/share any financial data to someone else).
Best,
Michael
A much better idea is to switch to Linux, and give up the idea of ever getting
rich enough to need that kind of software.
