Well, I've tried it. I'm running Fedora 33, and I've installed KeePassXC
2.6.3 via dnf.

Stopped the GNOME keyring daemon, started keepassxc. I've created a new
database, and two entries. Then I've enabled the Secret Service
Integration via Setings. And now I'm lost. I don't see any collection,
and so I don't know how to access.

No problem, everything is well as you have done it.

Best regards, Michael.
