PasswordSafe is, I think, the current best-of-breed with respect to its crypto. Like you, I have some concerns with it (notably the use of Twofish rather than AES, and a too-low PBKDF2 default), but it's the best you can get without writing your own.
It seemed to run ok in WINE last I tried it, and there're one or two native Linux programmes which can read & write its files.
These days I just use an org-mode file encrypted with gpg: emacs automatically prompts me for my password and decrypts it when I open it up.

Replace the crypto and data model with a PasswordSafe 'v4' format: scrypt plus AES-GCM plus chacha20-poly1305.
- ploxiln 11y agoI've used my passwordsafe v3 db with * password gorilla https://github.com/zdia/gorilla * pasaffe https://launchpad.net/pasaffe * passwdsafe (android) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe I like a password db format which is portable to different manager implementations on different platforms, and think that passwordsafe v3 is probably a bit better than the keepass format. (EDIT: and I don't care for integrations with browsers or anything else, they're a bad idea...)
