We at saas pass authenticator and password manager solved the linux support by building a comprehensive browser extension application that does not require a desktop app at all. It is a different approach eliminating the need for a local client. All the major browsers on Linux are supported including chromium.

Sure, but a browser extension cannot handle anything outside the browser. Which for many is fine, but there are still plenty of individuals who need that outside the of the browser.

Absolutely correct. For those edge cases there is a copy/paste available from the web portal or browser extension.

Pretty much all password managers I've used have had this. I see having to copy and paste more as a workaround for a missing desktop client rather than a solution.
