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.

Why do you care if it’s a snap or a Deb? To me the biggest problem with snap is the pollution in /dev/loop*.
Because I wanted it to integrate with 1password full client.
I use 1Password and the Firefox snap with no problems. How is the deb different?
The plugin works fine, but it can't call the separate program if you have that installed.
I use Mac most of the time and I’ve found that the functionality on Mac has largely started following how 1Password works on Linux. Meaning that the desktop app functions as a standalone app to modify your password records and the browser plugin allows you to access or lightly edit those records. Older versions would let you call the desktop app with a simple plugin but since I switched to the 1password.com version that’s no longer the case. If you’re on 1Password 7 then what you’re saying makes sense.
As an aside, the function I use by far the most on Mac is command-shift-space to pop up a password search dialog that works very well. Not sure if that function exists on Linux.
Looks like I'm on 1password 8 in Linux. For whatever reason, I just prefer the app instead of having the browser pop open 1password.com to edit records. I don't know why, it just bugs me. I know part of it is that I want to use the native app to show support for it.
I stand quite corrected. I learned a lot about native messaging on Ubuntu and understand where you're coming from!
