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.

Can I use it fully offline?

How do I back it up to USB drive?

What does the day-to-day operation of Pass compared to Keepass look like?

I am trying to learn it as I want to use it, as I think that keepass is bloated for my use case, and I would appreciate any help here.

The initial setup is a bit complicated but once done and integrated with rofi or dmenu it's a really nice simple and secure way to do passwords. I remember following some Luke Smith video to get setup with it. You don't need to use git as someone in comments has said - (I don't) that's just a possible back up solution. Nowadays I just super p and type for the service I want and it copies the password to the clipboard.
