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.

I'm very skeptical about online cloud-based password managers. I don't trust that at all. I still prefer to use a local off-line password manager like KeePassXC.
I'm using both. Mainly I use KeepassXC for most stuff (including my Proton account) because aside from the other security things it offers (like encrypting the database with a keyfile and challenge response), it also gives me a choice to add files into my password entry
I just use Proton Pass because of its easier access to email aliasing and occasionally sharing of sensitive data by sharing them a separate vault
Same here, I use both KeePassXC and Bitwarden. But I dont store heavily sensitive passwords on Bitwarden, like my email passwords, encryption retrieval keys, etc.
