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.

Can I use it fully offline?

How do I back it up to USB drive?

What does the day-to-day operation of Pass compared to Keepass look like?

I am trying to learn it as I want to use it, as I think that keepass is bloated for my use case, and I would appreciate any help here.

Maybe start by reading the documentation on their website.

Can I use it fully offline?

Seems like it. Sounds like it's only online if you send the encrypted files to some cloud storage. They suggest using git.

How do I back it up to USB drive?

Same way you'd backup any other file. You could probably even clone using git.

What does the day-to-day operation of Pass compared to Keepass look like?

No idea. I use Bitwarden.

I second that. The official documentation is always the place to start.

Then, if you need more info or other explanation I usually recommend looking at the arch wiki. Whether or not you're using arch, instructions there are valid and one of the best you can find.

Finally, this tuto may help you as well
