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.

Good thing I can just install applications from
aptinstead.......oh.
Yea, not with
firefox, at least not without switching to some third party repo.I use the ppa because the snap version does not let me use the keypass XC Plug-In or my VPN plug in.
I have the issue that the snap version can't browse files whose path includes a hidden dot file/directory in my home directory. It doesn't seem there's any clean way for me say "no, I give you explicit permission to read these files." My workaround was to
sudo mount --bind ~/.foo ~/barand then browse from~/barinstead. I'm not sure what they think they were preventing me from doing but they failed.You're awful brave...

KeePass 2 and KeePassXC are two different programs. KeePassXC is not affected by that issue.
You had one job keepass.
