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.

What does bitwarden have over keepass?
Sync that has never broken for me and works on a phone. My attempts at keypass with both google drive and syncthing invariably ended up with me needing to periodically do manual reconciliation. I’ve never had this problem with bitwarden. Also, bitwardens passkey hooks work on iOS. They appear unsupported by keepassium.
Probably a bit more polished UX (especially for not too tech-savy people)
but I'd say the biggest difference is integrated multidevice support, either via their cloud or selfhosted...
I cannot access my homelab from my work network, so I cannot sync via Nextcloud. Syncthing would be better, but they just stopped supporting Android sync, which I need. Proton Drive doesn't sync files on Android. On top of that, I don't want to deal with sync issues because keepass isn't designed for syncing like that. I'm not gonna go back to using Google, Microsoft, or Dropbox just for keepass. I've considered just keeping my db file on a flash drive, but all of the keepass Android apps I tried won't automatically detect that the file exists when I plug in the drive.
If someone has a better way for me to use it, please enlighten me.
Bitwarden is slowly turning their stuff closed-source, and I hope they don't turn to shit, but right now it's what works.
Adding to what the other reply said, download the syncthing fork. The official app has been under maintenance mode for a while.
Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have put that in this comment, I was just airing a tangential frustration. It still doesn't help me unless I set up a vps on a whitelisted domain at my work.
Syncthing still supports Android, you can download the app via Fdroid.
But the last release for it will be in December.
There is the fork mentioned in the forum post here.

I don't use Syncthing and don't have an Android phone so I can't really speak for it in terms of functionality.
