Just use a password manager, then you get the benefits of having a single password to remember without the security-related downsides.
I never got over the fact that I somehow need to trust to an absurdly high degree a proprietary software to store ALL my passwords. Is this really a good idea?
You can use KeePass, but you'll have to figure out a way to have your password vault available on other devices (can do it by using any cloud shares, i.e. GDrive). This way you'll be in charge of almost every aspect of your passwords. But you'll have to take care of backups and keep everything in sync.
I'm sorry but no. I'm physically incapable of not moving the capital letter one space and I'm not entrusting my passwords to what I've irrationally decided IS named KeepAss. I just can't.
I like Vaultwarden. Open source rust server compatible with bitwarden.
And then there's KeePassXC.
Get it? Keep-Ass-Sexy :)

Just imagine keeping your passwords in your ass and you should be fine.
I've had that dream before, didn't help..
Or simply can use, Bitwarden or Protonpass
I read a bit into bitwarden and it seems quite good, also with browser extension etc. Maybe I will think about my stance on password managers and give it a try
Syncthing works very well for cross platform syncing
I have this issue with bit warden
It seems bitwarden is a bit more user friendly and also quite good in terms of security and privacy related issues (FOSS as well!) . Thanks for the help!
