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?

Keepass2android works like this. So it's definitely possible. Id advise worst case you can emulate android on the Linux drive and use that apk
