I wanted to switch to KeePassXC and I wanted to download it on a encrypted USB drive for portability. I know I can do this on Windows, but will the password manager work on other OSes? I switch between Windows and Linux, and I want to make sure that I can do it on both. I read an online article that says its possible, but you need to make sure you have a certain file on the drive for it to work?

    The software itself won’t, as the “portable” binaries are made for Windows. The vault file itself can be opened without a problem if you use the KeePassXC binaries for the OS you’re using.
