Why? The client functions just fine under Wine and runs better than most of the native clients that already are on Linux.
- tscs37 10y agoI 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.
- fapjacks 10y agoRight. 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.
- tscs37 10y agoI 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.
- fapjacks 10y agoYes, exactly. I'm totally on board with what you're saying.
- dkonofalski 10y agoThat is incredibly pretentious of you. It works just fine under Wine and, arguably, better than the native LastPass client on Linux.
