Each table contains one column with the patches and one column without the patches - the hardware is unchanged. The different tables are to measure the impact of the patches across different hardware.

Hmm, I bet most of the functionality could be replicated using a browser extension. Pretty much the only thing I think you wouldn’t be able to access would be saved passwords and credit cards. Networking might be an issue as well if you were trying to set up an ad-hoc system like KDE connect uses.

To clarify, you’d want to enable 2fa for Bitwarden and store the token for that in a different authenticator app - that way you can still log in to Bitwarden without already needing to be logged in

It depends on your risk profile, but yes, it’s less secure. For some people the convenience is worth the risk, for others maybe not. If you opt to store 2fa keys in Bitwarden you’d definitely want to enable 2fa for your Bitwarden account though, which brings us back to the same issue again.
