What works
The same as my predecessor LS650V did: I only tested what I use. Account entry, balancing, reports, Investments.
The Online functionality of MS Money 99 is long gone - the current developments of banking interfaces didn't get backported into this version of Money. You will have no chance of setting up an online access to your own bank accounts.
The download of current stock values is also switched off since many years ago.
What does not
Workarounds
What was not tested
I have the installation running in an Oracle VM VirtualBox machine, so I can't say anything about the graphics environment on a native Linux installation. But I expect it to have no impact on this Wine setup - why shouldn't it work? MS Money is using standard Windows interfaces.

Firstly, we have to activate the 32 bit architecture:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Add repository key and repository
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu groovy main' #replace 'groovy' with current Ubuntu version sudo apt update sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable sudo apt install winetricks sudo reboot
When winecfg is installed, you don't need to install MONO when the popup appears. When the installation asks for GECKO, click YES and let GECKO install automatically.

Do the following in winetricks:
Install a font: corefonts
Install a Windows DLL or component: ie8, ie8_kb2936068 (using pragmatic answers when IE8 asks for its settings)
Install ODBC drivers: ? It is not necessary to have ODBC drivers installed when running MS Money. But if they are not installed, the installation routine of MS Money will have some complaints.
