From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The script is there in the post, but I haven't tried it yet. It would be nice if fuzzel had a message option, like rofi, so that key information could be displayed in the passphrases request; that s is what pinentry-rofi uses.
Yes. The message could be added to the prompt but it wouldn’t look the best.
It might be nice to have a way of giving more context, which is what the message option was good for in rofi. Not knocking it though, I am a happy fuzzel user.
You could add a feature request in the Fuzzel bug tracker. A screenshot of how it is used in Fuzzel could be helpful there.
Let me try for a pinentry script over the weekend first, to see how the placeholder looks.
