Looking to start budgeting, I'd like to be able to use it on both android and linux and use syncthing to sync the file. Is there a good solution for that?

it'd be nice if I could easily divide my income into different buckets, add expenses to those buckets, and see how much is remaining in any given bucket for the current month. Less important but still nice would be an easy way to roll surplus into the same bucket for the next month

I've just set up Actual Budget and that's pretty much exactly how it works, you'd have to self host it though. It gives you access to a web interface you can access from any device, it's a bit limited on mobile but does work for adding transactions and whatnot.
Failing that, I'm not familiar with one with a good mobile app, although I'm sure there are a few out there.

Same here, happy actual user 😁 coming from ynab, it‘s basicalöy the same. Even has most mobile features since the latest release (editing budgets, adding spendings, etc.) :)

Note that its actualbudget.org :)

It says it supports local editing, is it possible to just skip their syncing entirely and use syncthing/a local file? I don't have a server to host stuff myself, and don't want to have to buy hosting either. Using a file just seems simpler and more reliable to me

Yep, you can also install it locally, though it requires a bit of command line :)
