Verdict: Partly
Partly. MYOB Business runs in a browser and works on Linux. MYOB AccountRight is a Windows program and MYOB lists only Windows versions for it, so that one does not run on Linux.
MYOB sells two things under one name. MYOB Business is used in a browser, so on Linux you open Firefox or Chrome, sign in and carry on. MYOB AccountRight is installed software, and MYOB's own minimum requirements page lists Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows Server editions. There is no Linux version and there is no browser version of AccountRight that replaces the installed one.
If you are on AccountRight and want to move to Linux, the practical path is to move to MYOB Business first, while the Windows machine still works. That is a conversion MYOB handles, and once your file is online the operating system stops mattering. Talk to your bookkeeper before you do it, because the two products are not identical and some AccountRight features do not carry over.
Your company file is the thing that traps people. AccountRight files use MYOB's own format and no Linux program opens one. Do the conversion, or at minimum export your accounts, contacts and transactions to CSV, before Windows goes.
If you are leaving MYOB rather than moving within it, GnuCash is the free option that keeps proper double-entry books on your own machine, and Odoo is the browser-based option if you also want customer records and sales alongside the accounting.
Free, installed, and capable of running a small business properly, including invoices and payables. You will do bank imports by hand rather than through a live feed.
Your files: Cannot open AccountRight company files. Imports QIF, OFX and CSV exports, with accounts and tax codes needing manual checking.
Browser-based, with a free single-app plan. Suits a business that wants invoicing, sales and stock in one place rather than a traditional ledger.
Your files: No MYOB file support. Imports contacts, products and transactions from CSV.
