Bitwarden UNSUPPORTED Linux client broken. As mentioned there are supported ways to use Linux.

Didn't even know there was such an application. On Linux I use the browser plugin and occasionally the webbased interface.

Title should be corrected to Linux, it's happening in multiple distros according to that thread.

Probably hardware acceleration in the chrome application host. I've seen this behavior in SyncTrayzor (syncthing client) recently.

Since it's based on Electron, they might need to delete the `~/.config//GPUCache` directory. I have this invisible text issue with VSCode and Chromium after every weekly packages update, because of Mesa updates I believe.

I've been developing my own TUI Bitwarden client recently: https://github.com/luryus/wden

I need passwords outside of the browser quite frequently (when SSHing to servers and so on), and the official Electron app just feels clunky and heavy to use and keep running constantly in the background. So creating a small and lightweight client optimized for my own usage patterns has been really useful. It may be useful for others, too, while the official client is broken.

I used Bitwarden until the time I was locked out of my LOCAL vault because of something goofy on the Bitwarden side.

I'm on enPass now.

Mine did this within the past month but it worked again after I installed updates (openSUSE Tumbleweed in case anyone wondered)
