I personally installed release 2.6.17 from GetDeb into Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome
on an older laptop and it has worked as well as I could expect with only 2
Gig of Ram.  However, I have a very large data file and I only use
AlphaVantage to update stock prices on a different machine so I am not sure
about AqBanking.  Perhaps others can share their experience with GnuCash on
Ubuntu.

While GnuCash 3.2 will be released very soon for Windows and OS X, it will
take a while to get to Ubuntu, unless you are willing to compile it
yourself.  Personally, I am not in a hurry.
