Sure, if the Linux distribution you use supports GnuCash. Arch has decided not to, so you can either jump through the extra hoops they require, switch to a distro that does, or switch to an accounting package that Arch does support.

Distros dropping GnuCash is due to our use of the WebKit1 API long after its best-by date. GnuCash 2.8 will use WebKit2 and we expect that the distros that have dropped support will restore it when 2.8 is released.
