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.

Relatedly, pretty sure most autotypers don't work. I know that keepassxc can't do autotype in wayland
keepass (not xc) has a plugin for autotype. I have not tried it yet.
keepassxc seems reluctant to use this method and instead would prefer to push the work upstream https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/2281 .
Unfortunately keepassxc has backed themselves into a corner where the upstream fix referenced in that issue is closed, and they are unwilling to implement a workaround themselves. So it looks like it won't be supported any time soon.
EDIT: Seems as though there may be a way to do this with xdg-desktop-portal in the near future. But the sentiment about cutting out the middleman only to need more middlemen seems to be accurate for that direction.
