I know they exist. I think you’re missing what I’m saying.

Bitwarden is fully free and self hostable. That is how I use it. Bitwarden needs a self hosted webserver. KeePass can use only a cloud provider or self hosted cloud storage and also set up a web vault.

With Bitwarden, if you don’t want that hassle you can use their webvault they host. You cannot do that with keepass. That is what costs the $10/year.

Point is, both are good software that do things a bit differently. I liked KeePass, but I found Bitwarden to do what I wanted better, which was easily sync my passwords across devices without the hassle of self hosting something like Nextcloud. A quick docker container and I’m good.

Maybe some people are fine with keepass and something like Dropbox for sync. And maybe others don’t want to use a public cloud server but also don’t know how or want to host their own instance of a a password manager or cloud server. So they can use something like Bitwarden’s webvault instead, which is free except for TOTP.

Bitwarden. Works with autofill too.

Bitwarden is all of those things. Unless you use their web vault, then it’s $10/year. Which keepassxc does not have.

I’m aware. So is Bitwarden if you don’t use their web vault, which KeepassXC does not have. Keepass can use a cloud drive to sync multiple devices whereas Bitwarden requires a self hosted instance to sync. Personally I would rather trust my own hosted instance over that of a cloud provider. But that all depends on your threat model and who you’re willing to trust. Having used both I personally prefer self hosted Bitwarden.

It’s $10/y and a steal for that excellent software. I pay it and self host it just to support them.

I was having the same problems a while back with Manjaro. Have a look at EndeavorOS. I’ve been using that for a long time now.

I gave away my air pod pros to a coworker because of a buzzing sound on one of them. He brought them in a week later said one of his buddies took it apart and fixed it. Sure enough. Some people are just good at that stuff.

Ouch! Is that comparable in your area, or your only choice? I use Spectrum (only choice here) and it’s $60 for 300 down and 20 up.

That would be a weird statement to make. But that’s not really what I said. At all.

I can wait for this game. Not really because I can have bear sex. Not my cup of coffee. But because the possibility is there. I wonder what else we’ll find with romance or otherwise. It was a fun showcase to watch.

They did mention stable, which is not something Manjaro can claim in my experience. They tend to hold back packages in the name of stability but it causes problems when using the AUR sometimes.

I find EndeavorOS (Arch) to be very reliable. I use it with KDE. Gnome can be good too for a minimalistic style that doesn’t change much.

Try mounting them. What is the dd command you’re using?

Now, depending on your threat model maybe a drill and a sledgehammer will be enough. If your threat model is rather high and it is really sensitive data, well you’ll have to spend that money if you can’t get zeros written.

Linux Mint is a good one to try out for starters. It is Ubuntu based so most of the time if you have an issue you can find tons on it in the Ubuntu help searches.

As for a browser, Firefox is likely pre installed and pretty excellent. All major browsers have a Linux client.

For gaming, steam had great support for windows games running on Linux. There is also Lutris and Heroic launcher which all have support for running games under a comparability layer.

Good luck and have fun!

I agree except for Manjaro. EndeavourOS is a better Arch derivative I think. There are quite a few reasons but the one that bugs me the most is I’ve had things break because they hold back packages from upstream.
