I have no intention of installing the dependencies for wine, notably the lib32 stuff.

Secondly, if they treat Linux as second class I'll treat them second class.

Lastpass even has a cli client for Linux in addition to working on all the browsers, I see no reason why 1password is doing it even remotely better.



Right. Advocating for the use of Wine here is a sign of ignorance and inexperience. Someone probably sold them on Wine when they researched installing Ubuntu alongside Windows to get their toes wet.


I have no problem with Wine if it's about running applications outside a security context and are no longer being developed, most of the time I prefer to use a VM.

The problem is that using Wine tells the 1Password devs that they don't need to make a native Linux solution, that it's unnecessary since it already works.

But that is not what I want. I want a native Linux client since that reduces the number of packages on my system drastically.

Wine has also little ways to employ security measures for Linux, so if there is a problem concerning Linux and Security, 1Password cannot fix it.


Yes, exactly. I'm totally on board with what you're saying.


That is incredibly pretentious of you. It works just fine under Wine and, arguably, better than the native LastPass client on Linux.
