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.

This one too:
Desktop Linux is a failure because this one specific thing doesn't work right now in only the Flatpak version of this one specific application. Good thing every Windows app has 100% functionality and works perfectly as soon as it's released lol.
lol - let's also ignore the other installation methods of keepassxc that work for this specific use case
Also I'm not sure why it doesn't work, but if it's just a file access thing (which is usually the issue for me whenever a flatpak is acting up) then it's like one toggle in Flatseal to unfuck it lol.
Because... it’s NOT just a file access thing. There are dozens of issues discussion that problem - that affects other browser extensions that also need to communicate other desktop apps - and no universal solution. Not even a working solution in most cases.

What if you wanted to use 1pass or LastPass? They work flawlessly as browser extensions.
+1 for bitwarden!
