OG KeePass program was never written for Linux
It’ll run with mono, package is named keepass2 on deb, keepass on arch and fedora, among others.
Contributed/unofficial keepass section at the bottom, the top contributed section is a list of ports

So I’d there a server + local system? Like Joplin… You can write notes all day with no server at all. The server just Synchronizes it all. In the past I used syncthing and I will continue using it. One thought was to have an automated backup from Vaultgarden that was automatically synced to my various devices as a Keypass database.
This is exactly how I use KeePass, and is fully supported as well. Set it up, import the VW database (might need some fuckery to do so, I’ve not played with VW), place the KeePass database in a location that makes sense to you on your device, then sync that folder via Syncthing to your other devices.
You’re using Linux, obviously, and the OG KeePass program was never written for Linux, so you’ll want a fork called KeePass XC. Unfortunately, the XC team doesn’t support plugins, but that should be a non-issue if you’re using Syncthing. Just point XC at the folder that’s being synced and you’re golden.
What other platforms are you using? Android? iOS? Windows? There are many forks of KeePass available for every platform. they are all cross-compatible and can utilize the same database.

That’s what I settled for as well. Keeping my
*.kdbxfile in iCloud, doing nightly backups to my NAS, and using Strongbox as a client (there’s also KeePassium with similar features) - which beautifully integrates into Apple’s AutoFill API, so it feels native - i.e. as if you’re using Apple’s Passwords app. And I can access all passwords from Windows using KeePassXC as well.
