Can I download Bitwarden from CachyOS Repo? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I am using Bitwarden on my smartphone. I want to use it on CachyOS.

Bitwarden Officially supports Flatpak, Snap, Appimage, .deb, .rpm.

I don't like Flatpak because for every single update, I also have to update Gnome Locale x2, KDE Locale x2 (at least 2 GBs)

Appimage is fine but I have to manually update.

Then, I looked on CachyOS Repo. There is a Bitwarden. Probably built over Arch Extra repos ?

Usually, I just install from CachyOS repo. But, Since I am downloading Bitwarden ( password manager ), I am bit skeptical. Whether this is recommended?

Can anybody help me?

or you could just use the official browser extension or just the web app

    are you talking like the bitwarden-cli? yeah that's in the arch repos. other than that you'd just install the extension on whatever browser you use.

    Looking for GUI. Want to autofill. Desktop app cannot do that?

    not yet, desktop app isn't integrated into the system secrets and i don't know if they have plans to ever support that. the browser plugins are the closest you can get to autofill on linux atm

    no. either you have to use the CLI or the browser extension. If you use qutebrowser there's a script that will tie into the bitwarden-cli and that would autofill for you. if you have multiple logins for something then it just opens dmenu or rofi or whatever you use and you can select your login from there.

    bitwarden CLI does integrate with some other tools. Almost every launcher, ulauncher, rofi, elephant, has a bitwarden cli plugin that integrates with bitwarden cli

    If it's in the Arch or CachyOS repos, it should be perfectly fine. The Arch packages are maintained by trusted devs, and unless the CachyOS team has been backdooring all their optimized builds this entire time with nobody noticing, they seem to be trustworthy, too.

    Generally, if you can get it via pacman, you shouldn't have to worry.

    That said, it sounds like you would want password autofill and easy adding. For that, don't bother with the desktop app and just use the extension in your browser of choice. There's no autofill via the desktop app.

    You can probably run the official version using DistroBox (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Distrobox). It's pretty straightforward to setup using one of the GUI tools (both of which are available as flatpak). Once you have it all installed you can export a desktop shortcut and you wont even know its in a container.
