From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Flatpack and password managers. They’ll oil and water.
What do you mean by that? I use the Keepass flatpak and even got autofill to work by adding some kind of launch option of I remember correctly.
I hear you. Kinda by design though. Its supposed to be difficult for containered applications to interact.
I think i installed keepassxc native. Then some config magic I've forgotten.
Yeah, it's not the worst thing in the world, just makes things awkward.
I do really like the idea of flatpack, I'm 110% in on containers, probably too much. There are just compromises that ned to be made today.
