Great to see progress! Why is it behind their official github releases though? Latest version is 2024.10.2 and not 2024.09.0. It is four releases meaning more than a month behind.
Baby steps?
Bit of a plug, but use gam? https://github.com/fmstrat/gam
It’s the winapps author! By the way, winapps looks cool! I never was able to get it working though because I was using Wayland
Hah, yup, that's me, too. Sorry it didn't work out, a team have done some updates to it that may work now, unfortunately I've never been able to get a hold of them.
Funny thing, it repacks a deb package.
See manifest.
Is the a downside to repacking the deb package? They're basically just zip files of the same binary you'd run on most other Linux distros.
I don't say that. Rather it's just a trivia.
Totally fair. I'm curious to see if anyone else may have reasons why it might be suboptimal.
Reposting the link from another comment on here, there is a PR to build the flatpak from source https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwarden.desktop/pull/222
What does this desktop app do that the browser extension doesn't? I tried the cli extension but it was rubbish..
The desktop app can be used as a bridge for biometrics in the browser extension, but other than that, it basically serves no unique purpose unless and until they add autofill for desktop applications.
I also would like to know what the desktop app is used for?
I've seen apps like xpipe that have direct Bitwarden integration if you want (way too high risk for me but I can see some people using it), but even then it integrates directly to the servers API. When I need an ssh password or something I copy and paste it from the browser extension. I'm curious if I'm missing some functionality by not using the app.
Huge news
Is it possible to get biometrics working on a flathub app?
I fucking love Flathub(and flatpak too), also thank you to Bitwarden team♥️.
What does bitwarden have over keepass?
Sync that has never broken for me and works on a phone. My attempts at keypass with both google drive and syncthing invariably ended up with me needing to periodically do manual reconciliation. I’ve never had this problem with bitwarden. Also, bitwardens passkey hooks work on iOS. They appear unsupported by keepassium.
Probably a bit more polished UX (especially for not too tech-savy people)
but I'd say the biggest difference is integrated multidevice support, either via their cloud or selfhosted...

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.
