I think this is the first time I've heard anyone say this about the Linux desktop experience! Kudos to the GNOME/UBUNTU people I guess.

Deffo a tradeoff. But then my bitwarden account is secured with a long phasephrase, and MFA (with offline recovery codes), with the TOTP in Google Authenticator. Its a tradeoff, but on balance, i am happy to keep my TOTP for accounts secured by bitwarden inside bitwarden.

QUIC can be blocked by the censor. Since connections fall-back on HTTP 2 this doesn't have any effect on availability. the obfuscation this VPN promises is essentially non-existent.
