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.

Does KeepassXC work under Wayland yet without having to use the clipboard to paste passwords?
In some threads I read that you can use Keepass indeed and it can be set to give a password prompt when app asks for access to your secrets. Might be annoying but might also help prevent secrets theft when a prompt appears at a random moment.
It does. I've been using it as my secrettool for quite a while instead of kwallet in KDE kwin wayland.
