Is anyone using PasswordSafe on Zorin OS?
I've been using PasswordSafe on Windows. Its free and does what I need. Now switching to Zorin OS, I looked up a Linux version. As I understand Zorin OS is based on Ubunty, so I looked up PasswordSafe for Ubuntu, and only found it for AMD64 or ARM64. My PC is Intel and I don't see anything there.
Hope to get an advice.
thanks
The amd64 version is the one you want.

Hi, welcome to Zorin OS!
Intel processors use AMD64 architecture. Whenever you see multiple choices for download, that's the one you should use.
For Password Safe in particular you should download the version for Ubuntu 22.04, which is the exact version that Zorin OS 17 is based on. Make a note of this because the latest Ubuntu version is actually 24.04, and that will probably not work.
But, you can install it very easily using the default package manager, by running this command in a terminal window (you'll find the terminal in in the applications menu):
sudo apt install passwordsafe
Or, if you prefer, you can download the .deb file that will allow you to install it manually. You'll often see there's the AMD64 or ARM64 versions as well, and also a different package for each of the supported Ubuntu versions.
In this case, as mentioned, you want to download the AMD64 and Ubuntu 22.04 versions, which is called "passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.21-amd64.deb" (if you don't see it here, make sure to click on "Show all assets"):
Once you have that file downloaded, you can follow the instructions taken from the official project documentation page:
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/passwordsafe-*.deb
You can also provide the full name of the installer (actually, that's what you should do):
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.21-amd64.deb
