Lack of 1password support on linux is the main thing keeping me on macos. Sounds like I might be switching back soon.

Personally I find the 1Password X browser extension is perfectly fine for my 1Password needs on my Linux desktop. That said the extension probably isn’t as good if you have a lot of server passwords or accounts you have to enter a lot in desktop apps. This isn’t a problem for me because I only use 1Password for web logins anyway, my various network passwords are easier to organize in pass.

You might want to look at KeepassXC.

That does not come with a simple way to have your passwords and automatically though.

A better alternative in my opinion would be Bitwarden.

I suspect a typo, but could you describe the problem in more detail? I'm using KeepassXC, and while there are a few challenges around workflow, there's nothing insurmountable.

Yeah, I wanted to write that it does not come with a simple way to sync passwords.

Simple as in you type a password and it is synced, instead of having to manually copy the file to each location.

Definitely not insurmountable and I used that system for a while as well, but something like Bitwarden, which I now use, is just easier.

Gotcha.

I guess for most of us on HN the big delineation is -- can you sync your password store easily (and exclusively) to your own systems, vs can you sync easily with a remote managed service.

I'm very much in the camp that eschews the latter.

As per my comment elsewhere in this thread, I've got a reasonably robust arrangement using a combination of Syncthing and KeePassXC, which so far has worked well for me.
