I don’t buy games that won’t run on linux.

solution: stop using chromium

Abiotic Factor, highly recommend you check it out.

Mullvad, haven’t had any issues with it. If a site refuses my connection I just change servers until it works, even found a few that work on reddit

Better question is who is using VMware at all. QEMU+virt-manager on top.

Taiwan is a country

Correct, doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.

No Russia in my house

You do realize where 99% of pirated anything comes from, right?

No China in my house

You do realize where 99% of stuff is manufactured, right? The device you are using right now has components made in China.

I use Strawberry personally.

searx.be, as you said. But you’ll have to switch instances occasionally due to rate limits.

That’s the problem I’m trying to address here.

There is no solution to that problem. If you lose your password it’s gone.

off-site cloud storage

This could be a server that is off-site but still controlled by you. Or just use a cloud hosting provider that you trust, the database is encrypted anyway. Or hell it could even be a hard drive in a box somewhere, assuming you never add anything to your database. Personally my off-site backup is a flash drive that I carry around with me at all times, and manually update whenever I make changes.

You’ve already answered your own questions in the “Some Solutions” section. If you completely lose your password to your vault there is nothing you can do, simple as that. Don’t lose it.

Cloud-based sync is incredibly easy with self-hosted cloud, as pointed out by the KeePassXC FAQ. Self-hosted cloud is effectively a local solution.

Just allow cookies for those websites. You can do it by clicking the lock to the left of the search bar and enabling “Always store cookis/data for this site”

You backup your 2FA locally. Problem solved.

If you’re using the cloud for anything related to security you’re doing something wrong. (In my opinion)

Depends on the hardware. You have to download NVIDIA drivers from your package manager.

I mean it depends on the hardware. (if we knew what hardware youre talking about it would make this much easier)

I feel like 99% of the time it’s just “does this distro have drivers for this hardware”. If yes it works, if no it doesn’t.
