KeePassXC vs Bitwarden opinions
Almost everyone thinks KeePassXC is a great alternative to Bitwarden.

KeePassXC is the best KeePass port for Linux (and perhaps MacOS). On Windows, KeePass 2 (original) is unbeatable.

KeePassXC is the best cross-platform Bitwarden alternative. It is open source like bitwarden but makes storing your passwords offline easy and secure. Also it is totally free!
