My password-manager is a script that gpg-decrypts to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and then opens it in editor, encrypts back on changes. Is that bad?

This isn’t even weird.
I think most security experts would recommend that you have your most important passwords written down somewhere, and then hopefully locked up in some safe or deposit box somewhere. You don’t need to buy an entire book for it, but some people like to spend money.
If this is for your less important passwords, then for the most part, writing them down is actually better. You won’t be as tempted to reuse your banking password for your social media. And some people like writing things down. A password manager is a better solution, but lots of people aren’t as good with technology and if they even let the browser remember it, they won’t know how to retrieve it later if they want to use a different computer, for example.

How do you syncronize it between multiple devices and operating systems?

I have a letter in my safe in the event of my death that contains all my passwords and accounts. I have also slipped in a dead man switch that she’s unaware of that will wipe out my “collection of science”.

Does anyone else know how to get into the safe?

it’s a key entry, and yes.
