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.

If we didn't already have the perfect option that is bitwarden I would probably go for this. But there's really no reason to switch away from bitwarden to this. It's open source, gets regularly publicly audited, and nothing ever leaves your device unencrypted. So even if they had their data center broken into and all machines stolen physically I wouldn't have to worry about my passwords

I use both. Proton pass is good because you can create, free of charge, up to 10 aliases for your proton mail account.

To add onto what Andromxda said, SimpleLogin is included with your Proton account (might be paid accounts only).

Use it with a custom domain - it's amazing and if Proton Mail ever shuts down you won't have to migrate any of your logins because they're already on your own domain.

SimpleLogin has a free tier, which is limited to 15 aliases. But if you have a paid Proton subscription, you can connect your SimpleLogin account and you get the premium version.
