It blows my mind how you can be smart enough to use Linux and still use a proprietary closed source "password manager" on it. If it was something unimportant, like a game, ok. But a password manager? The key to all your digital life and secrets... And in addition from an American company that will upload your (encrypted) passwords to a cloud in US? And in addition, I find it deceptive that they try to confuse the potential users by pretending to be somehow involved or concerned by open source. See this exchange for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/7l75d5/comment/drm... <<We're not open-source, but we do act like it!>>

Please don't overstate the intelligence required to use linux. It's not that high.
> ...and still use a proprietary closed source "password manager" on it.
People run plenty of proprietary closed source software on linux. This can include password managers, because perhaps they prefer it. Also a password manager of all things is something most people will need to use cross platform, not solely on linux.

Games being another proprietary closed source application people run on linux. Games still present meaningful risks to your computing and privacy.

AgileBits is a Canadian company.

A company can be involved and concerned with regards to open source without releasing a product that is open source. Microsoft releases and contributes to a lot of open source software but Windows and Office are both closed source.
